I have noticed it goes up as the US Dollar gets weaker - don't know why -  but the dollar has gone very weak - over the past few weeks!!!

Sadly not connected to UK being stronger!

I knew that sterling is not particularly strong so wondered if it was due to a weak lira [?]

End of October last year the bank said to me they were sorry but the rate was only 2.75TL to GBP when I wanted to convert some cash.

Yes Kev but that seems to be like selling Lira. In that case the lower the better.
