I got spending money euros last week in case it dropped even though we don't go for a few weeks, feel like a muppet, but at least the lift passes and petrol will work out cheaper if the pound stays on the up.

Bought a load of £ recently with my €
One of the best exchange rates I've seen recently (since the credit crunch nonsense)
Still waiting for that €1.50 that anti-Euroists claimed we were heading for

@stanton, Some years ago I think you were predicting parity between the £ and the €? I would get back to your taxi if I was you, although I'm sure you couldn't afford a London one.

@stanton,
You continue to demonstrate that you really are a first class idiot. My gran knows more about economics than you do and she's in a coffin.
So given your vast understanding of currency movement would you recommend fixed , floating or diff swaps if trading GBP at the moment ?

Nice to see the playground tactics continue.
To address your points:
1) Fat, nope
2) Red faced gammon, nope
3) Clueless in Economics - ever heard of the expression Pot Kettle Black?
I run my own business, and also own a number of properties that I rent out. I'm not sure i need an economics lecture of your very good self.
Just for my benefit though, If you could kindly point out clearly to me where my holidays are more expensive over the last few years, I will take this on board...... nope? Thought not.

Italy officially now in recession, first European country in several years.
So how's Europe panning out now Stantroll.....and where is this parity you predicted? Maybe stick to cabbing from now on.

You do feel the hit when trying to justify a €7 beer at €1.14/£, and remembering the same €7 beer was at €1.40/£ a few years ago.

@Android2000, Yeah but your uk beer costs more than a few years ago as well.

@stanton, Er don’t think so. Current sentiment from most banks / financial institutions is that a hard Brexit is most likely - as a result, that sentiment is already baked into the exchange rates currently being traded between banks.
Edit = will there be a further small drop, yes, 30% - nope. Nowhere near it (probably a few % at best). The drop after the votes this week are testament to that - as markets expect that the EU will say no and we will either; 1. Head for a Hard Brexit. or 2. More uncertainty as the timeline is extended.

Why don't we rest this thread till 3 months after Brexit (fingers crossed that never happens) then we'll at least start to see who is right. Assuming we have power to charge our electronic devices of course

So is that the answer to the question asked? You stated the Euro and Sterling would reach parity (that means equal as you are clearly struggling with the concept). You then state "No Deal will bring £1 = €0.80 cents". Which is it then? Is it both?
You're not only the village idiot, but you're also the whole Alpe's idiot. They'll be arranging sightseeing tours just to see you.
"Sterling is worth nothing in Europe". Are these today's words of wisdom?
The foreign exchange is really lost on you.

EUR sentiment is deteriorating at the moment. Most bad news about GBP is already priced in to the market and trading sentiment was fairly flat recently (i.e. ~50% long and ~50% short on the trade) but this week's poor EZ economic indicators are starting to influence people going long GBP. The Italian banking issues are far from being resolved (and indeed worsening) and as the current government in Rome is unlikely to address any of that this will continue to weigh on any potential EUR recovery
To quote ECB President Mario Draghi : “risks surrounding the euro area growth outlook have moved to the downside”
I would tend to hold the view from leading economists and indeed the ECB president in a higher esteem than a taxi driver from rural Austria

Buy the Euro, Sell the Pound: Nordea Markets
Modified: Friday, 01 February 2019 08:45
Foreign exchange strategists at Nordea Markets recommend clients sell Pound Sterling as market have become too optimistic in expecting a resolution to the current Brexit saga as Prime Minister Theresa May is on a hiding to nothing in her quest to secure further signigicant concessions on the Brexit deal from Brussels.
Andreas Steno Larsen, a strategist with Nordea Markets - the Scandinavian lender and investment bank - says 'no deal' risks are "too complacently priced by markets and the GBP may suffer consequently over the coming weeks".

FAQ
My son is an economist at PWC, if I want proper economic facts I'll ask him rather than a second rate taxi driving troll, I doubt if you could even spell PWC, let alone know who they are.
