The lira has topped 4.70 to the pound on XE today,the highest it has been since early February.

Just when Turkey is deploying troops in a show of support for Qatar so sticking its tongue out to Saudi Arabia. Trump will sort it all out - via Twitter.

All branches of Ramsdens in the UK have recieved a memo stating that once their stock of Turklish Lira are gone, they will no longer stock Turkish Lira.  I also heard that some branches of Thomas Cook have said the same.  Personally, I think it's just the Turkish government trying to get people to change Sterling over there. Any other views?

Perhaps their finance departments have suggested that TL is in for a rocky ride in the near future so instead of holding stocks of lira it would be better to order supplies when/if required? Just a guess.

I never thought of using my TL in Harry Ramsden's. Next time I'm in Chester I'll let you know how I got on.

Reminds me of the guy who mined Bitcoins in the early days. He went to buy some pizzas and offered the guy 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas.

He realised a few years later that if he had kept them that they would would have been worth $78m dollars.

Ramsdens never have a good exchange rate anyway.  Best to change in Turkey.
