Re: GBP crisis...yawn
GOD DAM IT!!
Brought my house in the UK when prices were at there highest (no choice there).
Sold it before moving to Oz when prices were coming down 4 years later (broke even, no profit made).
Because of Oz move, just missed the peak of the GBP/AUD exchange rate so ended up getting 2.06 rate which sucked! Left some in the UK for when we were settled.
Oz visa rules changes so couldn't stay so came to NZ. Moved my AUD to NZD at 2.2 I think?
Now in NZ waiting to move over the remains of our GBP and its doing this with the crap exchange rate. I'm effing sick of all this exchange rate crap! ARGH!!! You save and save and save and then it all goes down to toilet just because you happen to get the chance to emgirate at the wrong time exchange rate wise!
So fed up. Hate Money!

Ho hum, I can smile now..even at these shite rates, what can you do? Hindsight is something none of us has. I am glad that my kids are healthy and we have food in the larder. The Porsche Cayman would have looked good on the driveway of my acred property in Nelson but for now Palmy will do as will the 12 year old Honda.

Yes, but i have a 'car thing'....or had a car thing pre kids. Thus driving a 12yr old Honda Odyssey is like sticking matches under my nails...painful.

So if I type:
GENESIS TRADES SOUL TO DEVIL IN EXCHANGE FOR $NZ
That should pick up on Google.
See what happens tomorrow........

Still, the only good thing he has done for me (apart from banning smoking in pubs/restaurants) is to make me very determined to move to NZ, so I suppose I can thank him for that. Cheers . I'm off to break up my soap box now, I've worn it out lately.

I thought we werent allowed to talk politics on this forum
.....it's going to be a difficult rule to maintain as we approach the election.
Glad I'm in NZ.....I've never been a fan of spoiling my ballot paper, but this time round I'm not sure which of the band of clowns I'd choose.

No rule of that nature that I can see.
Just don't start calling each other kn@bheads and tw@ts is all.
Be as nice as you all are.
