I've just checked Ozforex and they are only quoting 2.3864:confused: Where have you seen 2.47 and are these companies open 24hours or do we have to sit tight until tomorrow???

It's driving me a bit batty this rate thing! I've been sittin' on it for a couple of months now, but I'm going to our cash very soon I think - especially with the pressure the UK banks are under right now. :unsure:
