Re: 1.93's A$ to the Pound!!!

US, UK, China etc are all big on devaluation. I can see GBP stagnating $1.40AUD by 2011. I may have to put off my move back for a year or so. The points lost on forward contracts are staggering AUD...

Re: Charts GBP to AUD Links - From the beginning 1971?

Thanks for the chart ABC. I would say that GBP is returning to where it belongs i.e $1.30 - $1.50

Re: Charts GBP to AUD Links - From the beginning 1971?

Couldn't put it better myself. Perhaps this is the bounce back to where the pound belongs i.e pre-debt binge.

Re: Charts GBP to AUD Links - From the beginning 1971?

Those hoping for bounce backs should not forget that the recession in the UK is almost unprecedented. A 'bounce back' could take many many years if not decades.

Re: Moving back to UK - Need help on settlement visa

I'm in the same boat Jack. I reckon that saying that you will stay in a hotel until you can rent, is an option. What it does mean is that when you arrive in the UK, if you are checked, and don't have...

Re: Australian Dollar - exchange rate?!

Actually, interest rates are just one factor.

The major factor is current account deficits. The UK has a deficit 4x that of Australia, and the gap is getting wider. I would expect the £1 to fetch...

Anyone who thinks renting is dead money in the current environment is sadly deluded.

Re: mortgages on return to Uk
