About 2.70 over here dropped a lot since the summer, but was amazing last summer at 2.93. I think it may well hit 3.00 when the season is really going.

I will put up same offer as last year!! Keith will stand the bar for anyone who wants a free drink if the rate gets to 3.00TL to the pound. I thought it was going to happen last year,,, our lass was gan crackers!!

http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com is a good website for checking the exchange rate as it searches 23 major online foreign currency bureaux in seconds.

With most of them they're delivered free if over a certain amount so there are no charges at all. When ordering online though I only use a company that delivers quickly, usually next day. As things are now you never know which company is going to go bust next. I know you're covered if you order with a credit card but you then get charged so I prefer to order and try for a quick delivery with no charges. It's better to be safe than sorry.

The best rate today is 2.71 with Ice (del) that I have used before and been pleased with. There are others with a slightly better rate but they have 'Warning! You can't pay by credit/debit card, meaning you are less protected' so there is more of a risk to order from them.

It's worth keeping an eye on the rates and buy when the rate is high but it's worth remembering that if the rates go too high the government steps in to bring them down.
