To demonstrate my point and to prove my sadness I am publishing my handy Efes / Exchange rate table :

The price of Efes is down the side and the exchange rate is across the top.
So if the exchange rate is 3.75 and the price of Efes is 12 then my beer costs me £3.20.
If the exchange rate is 5 and a beer is 16 then it still costs me £3.20.
But with an exchange rate of 4.75 and a beer price of 18 it will be £3.79
Not rocket science - but like I say, it sort of crystallises whether you are better off or not
