The exchange rate breaks 2.5

[dj_sploits]

Hi,
Currently looking at the change office down from ICR head quarters and they are offering £1 = 2.5156Ytl
I'm also assuming the supermarkets will be slightly higher
Always nice to know you will be getting more lira for your pound

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

thats really good
when it breaks 2.5 it seems really high nowadays
hope it continues to rise but if it stays the same i wont be complaining

I hope it's like that in August I'd be thrilled. By the way out of interest does anyone know what it was at this time last year ( May not August) be interesting to compare.

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

im sure there is a thread on what the exchange rate would of been
have a search around and im sure you will be able to find it

2.3 this time last year in resort, a massive difference to this year, it was about 2.33 when we went last August. I'd be as happy as a pig in #### if we got 2.50 in August.

I am half tempted to buy here in the UK in the next few days as the rate is 2.44 at the p/office?? what do you all think as when I have been in Sept it has dipped right down to 2.24, or do I hold out and hope any advice???!!????

Hi, ive just seen that its 2.433 at Marks and Spencer, if this keeps up, i may be VERY tempted to get at least half my spending money now and risk it !!! Arghhhhhhh what to do !!

Is that rate for any amount of sterling to change ? couple of years ago got stung in the square, the rate outside was totally different to what you got inside ! I stood outside puzzled and walked back in to find a couple having a real ding dong, eventually we got the rate advertised after threatening to call the police. the advertised rate was for a very large amount of sterling pounds

I can't help you on that one. I always use re little supermarket by ICR. They tell you the rate and then there are no hidden extras

[jnesbitt]

If I remember correctly it was the one under icr at the end of the road where Scotia Bar is ! I just think you have to be aware that sometimes all that glitters is not gold Sorry dj_sploits got my craft head on it was the change office not the supermarket ! apologies Janine (its cos am at work)

We where in icmeler 17th / 24th May last year - 2.19/2.20 YTL was the best available from the Supermarkets -Oh Happy Days

[adewolves]

Someone said a while back the rate may well be a lot higher this year due to the interest rates being lowered in Turkey, maybe that's the reason.

So at the moment 3 lira in the Tandoori Sizzler for a large cold un works out at around 1.20 sterling...mmmm lovely long may it rise.

£1.20 for a large beer, roll on 13th June in the Tandoori sizzler.

I agree with Viking Pete. When I was there last May it was around the 2.20 and there was little difference when I was back in September. This is good news . I am beginning to regret having bought some lira a few months ago when it was looking much better than last year but ne'er mind that's life. Some you win and some you lose! I too found the rate in the supermarket below the ICR office the best for both notes and travellers cheques.

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

the rates seeem to be for any amount of sterling i just think that time you were unlucky and someone inside thought that they would chance it
