Buy your Lira Quick?

[Robw]

With the Pound set to drop after our AAA rating was reduced is it advisable to buy Lira now? I have anyway but just wondered what everyone else thought

The rate was down to 2.69 in the change offices in town on Saturday morning.

 ..... or spend it slowly?

Holding steady at the moment but its been dropping steadily over the last two months. I understand the markets have been expecting the downgrade which might mean less of a massive dip in the pound and shares.

Paid my timeshare bill at €1.24 to the £1 at the beginning of Jan. it's now worth only €1.14!

Good move me thinks

A few years ago it was 2.20 so even at 2.69 it seems like a good deal.  I know it was up to 2.90 last year and perhaps it will rise again in the Summer... Hope so as I am counting on a certain figure for my competition pay out.

2.72 on XE Exchange at the moment. As Jacqui says. - still good compared to a year or so back.

Actually it is lower now than a year or so ago. I'd say buy now, or better still, buy two weeks ago

Last July it dropped as low as 2.77. Today it's 2.72 on the money markets. The tourist rates would be a little lower though.
