What idiot drives a mini

I'm just not in the XE club, Ray. They obviously can't understand that not everyone likes using specific companies.

I'm past it, it seems others aren't

Although it is funny to read all the assumptions made.

And whilst I do drive a Mini, I have the ability to understand that not everyone else likes them

Nope. The point he made was he had had a problem with XE and in addition did not like the site design. I am curious as to what the problem was.

I think he should get the short bus to work instead and be sterilised so he doesn't pollute the gene pool, but thats just one thing that narks me[/QUOTE]

That should be a whole new thread. He must have met a real salesman.

Re: POUND/ Dollar

For you XE Trade folks, are they good for all amounts, big and small? And what fees do they charge?

Ok, never mind, I've just run the demo. Looks very simple and straight forward, low fees, good exchange rates. I'll get about signing up.

I've still got a few bob over in the UK but I reckon we'll see $2.10 to $2.20 possibly even more to the pound before next summer. Just tell your sister to send only what you need, don't let your eyes get bigger than your belly just yet.

Re: POUND/ Dollar

I have been getting involved with rational Fx - www.rationalfx.com , same sort of set up as xe, but instead of buying online with spots etc - I can call the guy up and ask him what the present rate is - and then ask him to deal on my behalf =- tell him i want x amount of £'s worth and he does it for me, rates are certainly comparable with xe too
