Weak euro...........strong pound, how has it affected you?

[Andyk]

Ordered ours on Halifax banking for our Garda trip!

You're there just before me are you not Phil....Same accommodation as well....>Look forward to hearing how you get one. I can not wait now.

Not been great for us either. Lots of business from "new" Eastern European countries who are now demanding payment in Euro to avoid the exchange to GBP. Still, maybe it will make importing a left hooker 911 from Germany viable again soon!

Indeed mate will send you the lowdown, looking forward to it. We are hitting Bologna too

Blummin' nightmare. About half of my business is in Euros, but our company's base currency is proper pounds Sterling, so we're getting spanked all the time (and not in a good way).

Cheap beer, cheap petrol and cheap accommodation. What's not to like (apart from french food)?!

 

[Contigo]

lol At least that Euro will buy us more beer and chinese food! Not going to be many orders for andouille !

Winners and losers, swings and roundabouts. Could open up a whole debate on EU, monetary union etc. but...... No.

How long is a french sausage! ?

Works very well for me, all the prices here have effectively reduced by 20% for me, with the exception of parking at the airport, which is payable in Swiss Francs only, and that's gone up 20%.

Fuel prices here have risen though, due to the weak euro against the dollar.

 

[drewf]

Expectations are for the euro to fall further, so I'd personally say it's not the right time to buy a property here. My opinion only, naturally.

It's handy for my trip to Rioja in June.

Should make the wine even cheaper!

 

[Contigo]

Rioja! Now we're talking

 

[Tipmethewink]

This is now 60K cheaper than it was last year. Not that it really affects me at all.

I had the very same conversation with a friend about that on Friday. It's not 'cheap', but it's good value if it's a good car. Sadly, it's way out of my league, anyone fancy 10% each?

I could probably go 1% at the mo! Just need to find another 89%
