Buy your Lira Quick?

Prices will no doubt go up with inflation, and to take account of rent hikes by greedy landlord/ladies, and the ever increasing cost of electric, alcohol prices, wages etc.

As a comparison to the rate at about 2.20 to 2.25 over a good couple or three years at least you guys are getting more lira for your £1.

Apparently the TL is strong at the moment which has accounted for the recent slump in the exchange rate.

Nicola, I think it is more about a weak £ than a strong TL. The £ has been dropping against all the major currencies as well as the TL. On the other hand the € is now stronger against the TL than it was last summer. In August 2012 you could only get 2.2TL to the € whereas it is now nearly 2.4.

Typical. When in doubt blame the husband. Same in this household.

When we moved here 6 years ago it was 2.5.  Four years back it dropped to 2.11 at one stage so as long as it stays above 2.5 I consider it a bonus.

Well, I suppose it beats the normal excuse of blaming it on a big boy who said it and then ran away.

How about a bit of man solidarity here!!!

A weak pound creates a strong lira. So everyone is right

Scunner, if you carry on like this you'll be nominated as the next one to have a go at organizing the Palestine/Israel peace process.

We think that for us half timers or less the £ v TL at 2.61/2 TL is just brilliant after an "A" drop. The £ v US $ however is a different matter when you see the downward  movement of the £ against the US $ giving the increase in Fuel especially Heating Oil which we ordered today eg. 8p per ltr increase since Novembers order.

Stay "cool" the £ v TL is good. At least for us Brits.

£ has actually gone up today against many currencies
