The one at Canon St is usually quiet. Also you get better rates if you book online.

Halifax Clarity comes out on top on comparison web sites. I pre load mine, although the small print says you shouldn't.

Paying more than the outstanding balance on a CC (i.e. loading it up) is likely to trigger fraud/anti-money laundering flags at the CC provider.
FairFX are offering 1.236 for £1000 and above with free delivery. The Currency Club are at 1.228 for £500-£750 with free next day delivery. I've used both without any problems.

Sterling is on the charge. Up to 1.27 euros and a 6 year high vs the yen (178) http://www.xe.com
Early speculation on the referendum result?

The London currency market is expected to be open all night and ready to react in the event of a Yes vote. Might be worth hedging bets and buying some today.

Filthyphil30k,
Don't think what? That the currency market will be open all night? Or not worth hedging?
|
|

would have thought Euro might track GBP a bit anyway. hedge in a 3rd currency.
|

You know it makes sense.

Bergmeister, sorry, hedging. We are waking up to the United Kingdom.

boredsurfin, Hopefully it will soar to 1.40 - I can then send Gordon Brown a bill for all the extra he has cost me over the last 7 years.

Oooo, might have to buy some currency then. How does the collective SH mind think the inflated rate will last?

I think it will continue to drift upwards - 1.30 by Xmas. There is no good news on the French economy, mixed news on Germany, mostly bad news in Italy and a bit of good news in Spain - so the 4 biggest euro countries are not giving much hope to the currency markets. With the uncertainty over Scotland decided (from a currency POV) any positive news from the UK economy will be beneficial.

Will the government print more money to keep the £ down?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Is it feasible to print any more money? I thought they were printing so much already it would be hard to print enough more for anyone to notice.

olderscot, I'm pretty sure the BoE haven't printed any for nearly two years now.

Maybe they will finally raise interest rates?

Interest rate up would strengthen the pound.

blahblahblah, Yes you are right.  I read a headline on telegraph online about possible rises in interest rates but skim read it. Have now reread the article and it cites talk of interest rates rising contributing to a spike in the £.

Euro zone may start to print money soon (they have not done any so far) which will weaken the Euro further - which is what they want, or more importantly the Germans want
