Nearly, but not quite.

"Nearly, but not quite."

Hooray! To add to the celebratory atmosphere of the new CBF both Fabian and JohnF are right!!!
Google does indeed report that
1 Turkish Lira equals
0.20 British Pound
That is because it takes the pound to two decimal places and, quite properly rounds down to 0.20.

XE, on the other hand, states it to six decimal places as:
1 TRY =0.204149 GBP

Will it make 5?

What with this and the Bitcoin I seem to be spending half my day on XE!

Lira at an all time low against the pound today, currently sitting at 4.94.  Not doing too well against the USD either but nowhere near as bad as against the GBP.

Five by Friday?  No idea but if it carries on the way its doing today I wouldn't bet against it.

Lira down to 20.23p. Going, going .....

[Colwyn]

[JohnF]

Now 20.17p.

It's three kurus plus the odds away from 5.  Maybe tomorrow...
