He has probably gone for a lie down!

The impact of this is HUGE.

It means for Brits looking to buy property, suddenly property prices are much much higher. Of course this will reduce sales and so many people I know are reliant on the property market.

Unless you are making your living in euros then every time you transfer your pounds you receive less and less.

The pound is according to most experts due to fall further. As pointed out this will have a major effect on pensioners.

The r/ex is actually getting better for people transferring to Spain from the UK, nit by much, but it is in an upward direction

You're dead right - sorry I mislead you all, or, doing my calculations again it could be 300 euros a month.

I transferred €2500 today via MoneyCorp and got 1.3467 to the £ with no charges. Last November I got 1.42 from HiFX for a much larger amount but you win some you lose some!

We are around 100 euros a month less on our state pensions which is a big drop when prices here are rising all of the time. I dare'nt look at the shares, all investments are in a downward spiral at the moment and it doesn't look set to improve.:thumbdown:
