How about a little bit of a gamble/lottery here
If we could involve Gene with one of his updateing lists. we could pick a date in the middle of the season, say July 17, and we can all pick a figure, the one of us that is nearest to the official bank rate at this time and to the nearest 4 points at say mid-day, gets a treat !! [to be decided]
Any offers or suggestions, mine being
2.3623ytl

I am also predicting around 2.27-2.30 it was looking more promising a couple of weeks ago, but the exchange rates seem to of plumeted again. The euro was even up to around 1.10 but its back down to 1.02 again. Hopefully if it reached 2.30 in the UK then we will probably get about 2.35 in resort.

Hi Beech
2.16 is bad, along with other profit makeing buisnesses, I think we should look at the true bank rate, it is at this moment 2.2703,on XE.com dont sound as bad that way

I'm predicting 2.55
Did anyone actually go and buy some ytl a few months back when it shot up to 2.70\2.80. Lucky those who did - i remember a few saying they were going to.

We were there in october when it was 2.75 to the pound. The guy in greenhouse clothes shop said he thought it would be would be around 3ytl to the pound next season, so we didn't bother changing any.
Hope he was right.

Lets hope it goes up, but I am preparing myself to get no more than 2.35 in resort if it goes higher then its a bonus.

All the currency was getting better, but according to the papaer yesterday they seem to of gone down again. euro has gone back down to 1.01 and lira was 2.19 on friday but was 2.16 yesterday. But as our country is officially in resetion who knows how it's going to go, things could get worse if the £ weakens any more.

We were getting 2.10 in the resort last September,and worked out we got about £150 less spending money than the previous year

That's a lotta Efes we missed out on
I predict it may go to about 2.34 this September....hopefully
