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

You might get the odd few, but generally books are much more expensive here - especially for anything that is not mainstream.

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

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

Another opinion from one of the 'experts'. I reckon these cuts have to happen. Yes, it will hurt for a while but the UK will come out of it in a better economic state.

They can't just do nothing.

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

Yes. This graph does not tell the whole story as it has been 20:1 to GBP in the past as well as 1.80:1 (in the early '80s).

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

Renth, you may be right but there are a million articles out there that say it is. I'm going to drop out of this debate as I don't know enough about it. All I know is, with economics nothing is...

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

Are they major shifts though? Okay, AUD is at a record against USD (strong Aussie economy to blame), but GBP has been much weaker against USD before. USD/EUR is similar to what it was in 2006. Weaker...

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

Let the market decide what the strength of AUD should be. There are reasons to devalue a currency ie a f**ked economy like in the US and UK, but Australia is not in that situation.

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

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

Until (if) the UK sorts it's shit out, I wouldn't be so bullish about the GBP - it went down against the Euro and USD this week.

Cars, electronics etc have come down in price due to stronger AUD....

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

The value of our UK cash (in relation to the AUD) has just jumped a lot and I've already bought our GBP and Euro holiday money.

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

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

I have also already bought our holiday GBP and Euros and we have money over there too. I also think the Euro has some more pain ahead, so rate could get better for us as well.
