Yeah, and it looks like customs and excise have laid on a whole load of extra staff to catch people bringing back more that thier massive £145 duty free amount...

If you go to Moneycorp's website http://www.moneycorp.com they have a live price graph so you can sit there watching the price change by the second. Be careful though as when you have a large amount of money to change up it can be highly addictive. You start out just sneeking a look and before you know it you can't go past the PC without a hit

The rate was advertised on Ozforex site as 2.50 today, and I was really surprised when I signed in and it was still 2.50.

When I phoned them I was told 2.50 also, but didn't have my funds transferred yet so couldn't do it today

Lets hope it stays like this for a few days

Ime, it fluctuates all the time. I was told that it would rise towards Christmas, but that depends on public spending I suppose, and market confidence.
I transfered one at the end of August at 2.513 and that was good. When you're transfering a few thousand, it can make a big difference.
