Lira getting Stronger - Why?

[Colwyn]

Sorry, just amazed how things are going. It is £1.03 for five TL so I was just shocked.

It may just be thruppence to you but to currency wonks such matters are of vital importance.

Its ok, truth be told I was half expecting it get closer to five than it has today.

Maybe its about time someone updated the Efes Price Index... 15tl for a 50cl by start of season?

I'm pretty sure that will happen the Efes price fixing cartel always seem to keep beer at similar to prices to the UK, apart from the pub at the bottom of my road who manages to sell pints for £1.80

Efes in my local Spoons is £2.20. Much prefer Doom Bar or Abbot in there though!!

[JohnF]

My local for the past month or is €1.50 for a 50cl of Estrella, the equivalent to 6tl.  There is simply no comparison with the additive infested product named Efes.

Nudging 4.90 TL to the pound this morning.

Seems to be recovering - the way it was going earlier on this morning five looked a sure bet by COB.  Lets hope the wee fella keeps his mouth shut tomorrow, he often says something incredibly stupid on a Friday and give the markets serious jitters.

So what will come first, 5/£ or 4/$

[Colwyn]

£ on 4.88 and $ on 3.89. Which one will break .00 first? KKOB will be taking bets ... but I doubt he will be paying out.


Oh, Scunner had the same thought.

KKOB will be taking bets ... but I doubt he will be paying out.

Don't drag me into this. I'm quite happy with the exchange rate here.

I'm getting 6 to the £1. Pig's trotters, that is.
