Nah didn't bother! As the limit orders are placed on the forex market they only get converted when it hits that rate (well the rate specified plus the traders margin!).
Like you I tried to log on to bag the rate over the weekend but no joy.
Things to come, who knows but it will be really interesting to see what happens when the american dollar collapses !????

I am on the side of those who see this as a pendulum, which has swung way out of kilter right now. It will swing back. Sometime.......

Take your point about bad news already priced in to UK currency etc, etc. One of the less endearing aspects of the UK is our spectacular pessimism and the ability of the press to magnify concerns into hysteria.

Apparently exchange rates are set to continue changing 
Sold my crystal ball on Ebay some time ago..........apparently it was a fake. And anyway, there is always the interweb....................
I constantly have to remind myself to live in the present, and exchange rate speculation is residing in the past or future, to paraphrase mr chilliman!!
