Re: 1.26 and falling
just exchanged some at 4.5215AED/GBP - or an implied 1.23202 against the quoted spot rate of 1.22796
Razor thin spreads - probably sign that the forward market is pricing further falls.

Re: 1.26 and falling
how long does it normally take to arrive in the UK? Do you pay intermediate bank fees or is it just the 45 dizzers at this end and the 10 quid at the other?

Takes 3 days normally. Sometimes an extra day if you go by cheque and late in the day.

Re: 1.26 and falling
Just to add my thoughts from this cold and rainy island on the western edge of EU.
There is a growing feeling amongst people I have spoken to that May has no idea how to handle the challenge she is up against. Her feeble attempts at calming the situation and updating people have shown she is completely out of control and to top it off it has left the country in a situation where we are odds on to have no (acceptable) deal with EU.
49.8% of the population seem to be making preparations to collectively stand up and say "We told you so.." but in the meantime they are biting down and getting on with life. Nobody seems too concerned about the prospect of leaving the EU as they trust the politicians to come up with the goods. The exception is the brexiters who are still terrified that the whole referendum was a hoax and that the politicians (who they don't trust) will somehow make up an excuse and back away from the whole mess.
Anyway. The economy seems to be in a pretty good place (from my perspective). I arrived back just before Christmas and started looking for a contract only 2 weeks ago. I start on Monday. And to top of it off I will earn more than I did in Dubai (after tax) even when taking into account the exchange rate. Happy days...
