I always tend to buy in resort as that was the advice given to me when I first started coming about 10 years ago and spot on advice too. However, I know there are elections coming up - does that tend to affect it drastically in such a way that it stays around that level over the coming few months. I am not out until June and as the rate is good for a holiday maker just wondered if for the first time I should buy in the UK. As an aside, I remember when I first came in 2009 the rate was 2.19!
