Looking good. It was always easier to compare prices when it was 5 to 4. I.E.
5E -4£, 20E - 16£. Etc. Bring back 1.25 rate.

You will be reminiscing about half dollars next. Do not remind me of pre decimalisation!

When I was a student:

1£ sterling = 12 Swiss francs
1 US$ = 4.32 Swiss francs

Today:

1£ Sterling = 1.266 Swiss francs (nearly ten times less)
1 US$ = 0.91 Swiss francs (nearly five time less)

So go the markets after August 15, 1971 and Nixon's annoucement that the US no longer followed the Gold Exchange Standard.

Miller - do you ever think to yourself ‘Should I really be paying 16 bob for a Mars bar’ ?

Now you will really get me going. Do you know that they are smaller as well!!
Did not effect me much as my mum would not me have one, never understood why. Something to do with Mariane Faithfull my older brother told me.

The Pound-to-Euro exchange rate reached a new two-year high last week and may be likely to establish a more durable foothold above 1.17 over the coming days as divergence between the UK and Eurozone economies remains top of mind among investors.

Happy days....might be a good time to exchange a few quid for the summer ahead!

I know Easter is approaching but do not put all your eggs in one basket.

Well, Sterling is now struggling to hang on at around 1.15. So much for the surge ..

[P&C@29]

It’s much improved on 1.09 of two years ago

P&C@29 - You’re obviously a glass half full person. I however was hoping is was on the way to 1.40 !

One for all you FX gurus out there - Sterling has been nudging 1.20 for a while. Will it break through and keep going, or will it collapse ?
