[pennybarry]

Yes Mod Dom it is 74+ but yesterday I sent money thru IREMIT the rate was only 73+ . At Pic-uk website it is also 74+.

Wish more increase by July-August.:BouncyHappy::cwm12:

[Mrs.JMajor]

I bring peso here in UK, May 15 we able to change it to Barclay its 78.58, and I did manage to withdraw also from my BDO account (PI BANK) and withdraw from Barclay atm machine, the Barclay didnt charge me for that, I confirm from my bank the 300 GBP I withdraw was 21,000 php when I enquire my statement :NoNo:,

[KeithD]

The £ to the $ has climbed dramatically the last 2 weeks, but should hit another resistance level at 1.6, but is likely to break through that after a little bouncing around.

You can go long on the GBPUSD on the Forex markets for a quick profit this week. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

:omg:Can you tell me what next weeks lottery numbers are?

[joebloggs]

and why, is it because of the banks are starting to make money again, buying back their debts from the gov :Erm:

as long as it gets back to 90php to £ :Hellooo:

£ never went as low as 1 euro then..

[RickyR]

I hope it keeps going, more PHP = more money to spend. I go on leave again in 3 weeks for a month in Cebu :-)
Only thing I don't want to change is the Euro/Sterling rate as i'm paid in Euros :-)

[johncar54]

Yesterday, 23rd, I transferred, on line, some money to my 'Phil Account' with Nationwide. My wife’s cousin drew it from an ATM of BPI, using a CASH CARD. No charges either end, and an exchange rate of 74.16 to the pound.

[somebody]

Hurrah lets hope:) but cant see it going to dizzy heights unless chaos breaks out in phill.

Sounds good but lets hold on to our hats for a touch longer, the reasons i belive are a mixture of the US has announced bad results and gloomy forecasts for the future. They are looking like they might beat the UK to losing their triple a rating. As there national debt hits 100 percent of gdp.
Plus China, Brazil, russia and other countries are looking to stop using the Dollar in trade deals.
Then if China, Russia and others start to dump/spend their reserves who knows. Wheter to support their own currency or ecomony or for other reasons.

With the pound who knows:rolleyes:

In the Uk as long as there is no national election and who knows what protest votes will occur in the euro votes and possible byelections which might occur in the near future. At present many people belive we have a parliment which is so worried about its own :action-smiley-081: that if any major issues occur no one knows if they will be effectively dealt with.
Could at present Brown pass any non popular laws which may be needed to help the ecomony? I doubt it all mp's will go for the popular vote surely?

Once a new goverment whatever colour or if hung comes in surely they have to make drastic cuts to public spending (public sector jobs, funding, pensions) the UK will have protests and strikes galore surely effecting sterling.

Anyway lets hope the sunshine and the pound/peso keeps shining:xxgrinning--00xx3:

We travel on 10th June for 3 weeks.

Previously I have taken sterling (cash) and exchanged in Manila, usually at SM Mall.

Any better advice?

Thanks

I WOULD, but :yikes: NOT if you're a gangster ... ! :NoNo: Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Thanks

On my first [also 3 weeks'] visit last September, I took travellers' cheques in US dollars. NOT A GOOD IDEA, as *Metrobank charged me $4 per CHEQUE each time I cashed one. So, second time around, I simply withdrew cash from their *ATMs, using my BOS debit card. Which was fine ... until one day, :Brick: ... "transaction cannot be processed"! ... why? Then it all began to make sense: My account had been blocked. Reason: to protect it against the possibility of Identity Fraud. I only realised on phoning the Bank of Scotland Helpline from a friend's house, that I'd overlooked the necessity to notify my home branch of my decision to extend my subsequent stay in the Phils by two months. Luckily, everything was 'up and running' again within 24 hours! Whether this system is cheaper than the method you're accustomed to, I really couldn't say, but it's certainly worth looking into before you go! :rolleyes:

Enjoy your trip! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[aromulus]

Travel Cheques...... How quaint.....:D

[keithAngel]

If you mean the Phils is quaint Dom I agree in Thailand you get a better rate than with cash and it costs 50p to cash one

If they are lost or stolen they will be replaced unlike plastic which has to first be sent to your address in the UK:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[RickyR]

In my experience, ATM's give some of the best rates bar some of the online currency exchanges. It's generally safe and normal transaction fee is around 1 to 1.5 GBP per withdrawal (hence normally best to take 10,000 at a time).
Some bank accounts (I believe Nationwide is one of them) give you zero transaction fee/commission on overseas withdrawals. I have a seperate account which I transfer money in for withdrawal in Philippines by Marvie or myself (have to call the bank every 6 months to advise them that i'm in the Philippines).

[Florge]

what?? BF sent money thru Western Union and exchange rate is only 72.. oh well... that was the rate on Saturday... bummer...

:cwm34:
The rate in WU florge is low compared to other means of sending:cwm34::cwm34::cwm34:

& you pay a commission rate of about 14% - leaving the WU rate as effectively less than 62!

[Gavanddal]

Back to the 90+ to the £ by November please when we go to the Phils so we can start doing the house up.

[aromulus]

Lovely....

£ 1 = 75 PHP today:omg:

Splendiferous...!!!!!!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Keep on going...!!!!!!:D

[Mrs Daddy]

c`mon dont stop:)keep going up to 100 peso - 1 pound

[Bluebirdjones]

... but remember, for every winner there's also a loser.

For us, visiting/travelling/remitting to the Philippines, it's good news.

BUT for those applying for visas it's (technically) bad news.

A £/peso rate of 80 = 46,800p for a fiancee visa
A £/peso rate of 90 = 52,650p

However, as it's "us" that's paying (and not the Filipina girlfriend/fiance)
the good news is .....
... it's still the same extortionate £585 !

Anyone take my advice? Up 12,500 pips in the time since I posted, and you can have anything from 0.01p to £1,000,000,000 per pip :D

The dollars in a nose dive on all currencies, and it certainly isn't going to stop today with the GM problem. Up 2000 pips today by 9am!!!

[KeithD]

It'll go up more as the $$$$ continues to weaken.

[EdwardB]

It'll go up more as the $$$$ continues to weaken.

I'm sure everybody supporting friends & family in RP from The UK are celebrating their empowered contribution capacity.

But this crazy world of floating exchange rates is proving to be as bad as the madness that put the UK & USA in a hole last year - viz. our banks lending to off balance sheet packages of mortgage debt.

Last October I shifted over a GBP million worth of contracts out of RP to China because RP didn't have the infrastructure from its government to offer a currency exchange rate hedge. Financially I'm covered but RP has lost hundereds of jobs - & I have the cost of paying for Ana's flights to Hong Kong rather than spending time in Manila. That said mixed blessings there... she has fallen in love with/and in love in Hong Kong..... & Manila bores scares me to death!!!

So celebrate the gambling win in the short term - but reflect that in the end China may have got it ever so right!!

A fix at GBP to 1.65 $ would be about right. Nearly back there!!! & with a hedge the jobs would be in RP at the exchange rate they left in October. Politicians are stupid wherever they practice/practise.

Be it Cameron,Brown,or any other of those in UK politics leading this once great country always remember it could be worse,we could have Gloria at the helm,in which case it would be £78 GBP to the peso :icon_lol:

We need stability, and an ELECTED leader in Cameron would give us that, the Labour party is in freefall. Makes the problems with the Tories in the 90's look like childs play.

[jimeve]

Cameron's a joke, no experience at all. I have not heard one constructive sentence from camy. on the other hand Gordon Brown's the man to lead us out of this mess. Don't forget he was put in this mess not his on doing, but the Global Recession. if anyone thinks that electing a Torie Muppet will help, it won't. No P.M could have solved this. Politicians have been riping off ppl for decades. why is it Browns fault. Cameron gets in thats bad very bad, all hes good at is slagging Brown off. :cwm23:

[KeithD]

....no experience at all.
As far as I am aware, any party that gets into power with a new leader has no experience :Erm:

Brown - None (...and oh boy it shows!)
Blair - None
Major - None
Thatcher - None
etc....

[jimeve]

Brown = Parliament since 1983.

Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Cameron = member of parliament since 2001.

I meant experience in parliament. :doh:doh

he's was shoved in at the deep end. by Blaire. oh browns fault for global recession, greedy mp's claiming mortgage expensive etc.

Hope he gets elected. Nobody else can do the job.

[KeithD]

Experience in Parliament gives you zero experience at running a country as Brown proves beyond doubt......and I support Labour!!!

Obama seems to be doing fine with no experience, and Blair didn't have much either.

[KeithD]

Hope he gets elected. Nobody else can do the job.
If you followed the professional money in the markets you'd soon discover out of all the countries on the planet, the UK is the least trusted, with the US 2nd.....why? Well one reason is the massive debt they've both run up that will take at least a decade to pay off. While countries that done NOTHING, which is the correct way.....strangely have no extra debt, and are coming out of recession!!!

When Cameron said do nothing, that was the correct thing to do, as any professional in the money markets would tell you.

[jimeve]

Experience in Parliament gives you zero experience at running a country as Brown proves beyond doubt......and I support Labour!!!

Obama seems to be doing fine with no experience, and Blair didn't have much either.

at least he has the backing of his ppl not like the Clueless brits.

[Arthur Little]

As far as I am aware, any party that gets into power with a new leader has no experience :Erm:

Rather it's the new LEADER that has no experience :NoNo: IN GOVERNMENT ... as happened to be the case with Blair. :xxsmilie_auslachen: And yes, WILL be again, if Cameron is elected next time round. :doh

On the other hand, Thatcher did a stint as Education Secretary in the Heath administration, prior to defeating him :BlacklistLoser: in the 1975 Conservative Leadership contest, and ultimately becoming Prime Minister approximately four years' later. And, as we're all aware, of course, Brown served under Blair for more than a decade before finally taking over the reins.

[jimeve]

Thanks for that Arther. I couldn't put it across as immaculately as you.:)

Oh, ... and let's not forget John Major, who tried hard to do his best [poor chap!]. But with Thatcher furiously "tugging at the strings" :8_1_215: ... all the while, never really had the chance to prove his mettle!

[KeithD]

....Brown served under Blair for more than a decade before finally taking over the reins.
:Erm: .....and? Being an 'accountant' and then being promoted to CEO of a massive limited company, gives you very little experience, especially with only a history degree :doh

.

He wasn't at all..........:omg:

The snidy, back stabbing, jumped up berk, did his utmost to get Tony Blair out of the way and take his place at no10.:omg:
Now that the knives are out to get him, he doesn't like it......:Erm:

If he had an ounce of respect left for the country and the voters, he would pack his bags and go.
But he is too far up his own :butthead:, to realize that the Country is sick and tired of him as the face of labour, and labour in general.:Brick:

You mark my words.... The moment an election is announced, the pound will shoot upward...:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

Blair didn't have much either.


Virtually NONE, as far as I can recall. Unless you count his short incumbency of the THEN-Opposition's Shadow Home Secretary's post. But there again, this is not a GOVERNMENT appointment. :NoNo:

[Arthur Little]

He wasn't at all..........:omg:



:NoNo: I have to agree with Jim here, Dom. He WAS! Blair, being the cunning :blacklistsmartassHL that he undoubtedly IS, cleverly chose his "moment of departure", being all too aware that the "cards" were heavily stacked against him in the aftermath of the Iraq War fiasco.

[Arthur Little]

The snidy, jumped up berk


:Erm: Are you sure you aren't referring to TONY BLAIR and his penchant for ingratiating plausibility towards warmongers like, e.g., Obama's predecessor at the White House? :rolleyes:

I agree with that. I always voted Labour but its time for a change but i`m not saying the Tories are any better. Personally I never worried about this recession as the people love to make more of it than actually happens. All the so called experts dont have a clue. The country will come out of this reccession quicker and better than most of the world. Its that thing that brits love to be put down and be pecemistic.
Everthings doom and gloom they`d have you beleive.
House prices are on the up, well, in this area anyway. I know that cos I have friends that are selling and have sold.
My employers are investing more money into the business and my wages are consistent with the last few years regarding overtime. That includes employing an extra person too.
So I dont take any notice of the people with their big words and expert knowledge cos they dont know anymore than me, with my 1 `o level :xxgrinning--00xx3:
By the way, I voted UKIP on both of my ballot papers.

[joebloggs]

coming from a labour strong hold, since i was 18 I've voted labour at every election,never missed one, but last week i didn't bother :NoNo:

no way i will ever vote Tory, and cannot vote for labour as they are now .. :NoNo:

time for a shake up, i would have voted UKIP, but their just as bad, but pulling out of Europe, now that would shake things up .. good or bad who knows :Erm:

did anyone get any BNP leaflet thru their door ?

i did. made me laugh, 'people like you voting BNP' underneath it says 'use this as a window poster, for a free larger poster call.'. i think there would be a brick thru the window within the hour if i did.. :icon_lol:

their not friends of Muslims and bogus asylum seekers :NoNo:

but i can see why some people would vote for them becuase of

'NO TO EU RULE AND THE EURO
NO TO IMMIGRATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT
NO TO HIGH TAXES AND RIP-OFF BRITIAN'

but i could never vote for a racist bunch of people :NoNo:

Just watched the news and Nick Griffin was attacked in his car outside manchester town hall!
There was a few muslims there, as you`d expect. I fail to see how their violent protest after everybody has voted will stop people turning the the BNP.
If they gain a seat then it shows how much some people have had enough of foreigners telling us how to run our country I guess.

[KeithD]

Only leaflet I got through my door was from the Tories.......2 decades ago they used to knock on your door, and if they can't be bothered doing that anymore, no wonder people can't be bothered voting.

[Tawi2]

I dont think its foreigners telling us how to run our country Adam,they already do that since we joined the EU,its a small minority like the al-Muhajiroun cretins who boo'ed and jeer'ed the Royal Anglian's homecoming parade through Luton,then fled to the police for protection when some of the UK crowd took exception to this,I am a staunch believer in when in Rome,but having spent time in Places like Islamabad etc I know full well what you could expect if you attempted to burn the pakistan flag in places like 'Pindis Rajah bazaar :ARsurrender: We are just too soft,some people know how to play the system and shout for their rights even though you or I would forfeit ours as soon as we stepped foot in their country of origin :ARsurrender:

Only in anything Filipino related could a thread get so OT!

Sterling -Peso = 75.97 according to my latest update.

Fix all exchange rates the only winners from floating rates are the bookies.

Pontificate on how many Browns = a Cameron or a Clegg elsewhere.

Apologies to any other parties not mentioned.

Re the racists; As Russell Brand said "what is the point of being racist as it restricts your choice of women" !!

my misses got a call from the local labour party, she cannot even vote yet (not registered, as she became a brit citizen one day after registration closed :doh)


Brussels make upto 80% of new laws, time brits took back that power :ARsurrender:, stopped mass immigration to the uk, and a legal right to bring your wife to the uk :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[pennybarry]

If I have the right to vote, I don't think I will go out and vote:D

I usually vote before in Pinas and always hoping that someday, there will be no more corruption.

When Joseph Estrada was in his seat as president, Gloria was eager to grab his seat. People allowed her to grab and rule Pinas because we believed that Gloria is more intelligent, well educated and known as daughter of ex-president b4. The situations now is getting worse and worst so I gave up voting.

In UK, Cameron is like Gloria, he is very eager to take the PM seat. But I don't want to judge his platform. Everytime I watch parliament debate, I feel he is a bully shouting and seldom smile:D I'm not sure if he's really a bully. Gordon's spirit is very high, telling he can save Britain. I believed recession is GLOBAL, even Barack Obama can't do anything with dollar rate. So as Cameron if ever.

Ehehehe I'm not into politics! Just giving some ideas and still confuse who will be the right leader in Pinas and Britain for a change!!!:Hellooo:

[aromulus]

:NoNo: I have to agree with Jim here, Dom. He WAS! Blair, being the cunning :blacklistsmartassHL that he undoubtedly IS, cleverly chose his "moment of departure", being all too aware that the "cards" were heavily stacked against him in the aftermath of the Iraq War fiasco.

For how much just the mention of Tony Blair makes my blood boil, I have to say that Gordon's scheeming was done very subtley at the start, and more emboldened by the others Mp's support he "Made" Blair leave.
Yes, Tony, had more or less reached the end, I think his wife was very influential on him to depart, realizing what was in the cards for her hubby if he stayed on.

All in all, we were all duped by this "New" Labour tag....:NoNo::action-smiley-081:

Leopards and spots... Come to mind....:Erm:

Gordon bottled it last year for fear of the electorate, and will hang on for dear life until the last day, keeping on screwing the country...:NoNo:

Holding an election sooner rather than later, would mean a fresh start, a clean slate that might instill some respect from the rest of the world, as opposed to the oldest democracy being the butt of international jokes....:doh

I normally detest the yanks, but they have something in place that takes care of crooks in power.... It is called "Impeachment"....:xxgrinning--00xx3:
And also they have no snidy way to install "non-elected" friends to positions of power like they do around here....:NoNo:

I dont think its foreigners telling us how to run our country Adam,they already do that since we joined the EU,its a small minority like the al-Muhajiroun cretins who boo'ed and jeer'ed the Royal Anglian's homecoming parade through Luton,then fled to the police for protection when some of the UK crowd took exception to this,I am a staunch believer in when in Rome,but having spent time in Places like Islamabad etc I know full well what you could expect if you attempted to burn the pakistan flag in places like 'Pindis Rajah bazaar :ARsurrender: We are just too soft,some people know how to play the system and shout for their rights even though you or I would forfeit ours as soon as we stepped foot in their country of origin :ARsurrender:

Exactly. With being told what we can and cant do by Brussels and the lack of respect from certain foreigners that are just here cos they want to sponge, everyone is getting to the end of a very long tether!
I think things will come to a head in the near future. It seems from the euro elections that a few countries far right parties with seats now.
Maybe we`re not the only country in Europe with an immigration problem...:Erm:

We're NOT! ... far from it! But this small island of ours is already bursting at the seams in terms of population. And our Government seems to be taking a tough stance with the wrong kind of immigrant. :angry: You and I both, are only too-well aware of the complex rigmarole WE'D to go through, simply in order to bring our respective lawfully-wedded wives to the UK ... never mind the crippling costs involved! Yet these :censored: rabble-rousing Muslims - like the ones mentioned in previous posts - seem to be able to just "walk-free" into this country and demand that mosques be built to cater for their extremist propaganda. I tell you, mate, something's far wrong somewhere!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/5474602/European-elections-2009-BNP-successes-horrific-say-main-parties.html

why are the main parties horrified by the rise of the far-right ? because the main parties have ignored voters, ignored the problems of uncontrolled immigration and the ever expanding EU, done little to protect jobs for British workers, so why are they surprised when people vote for the BNP ? yes they should be horrified by the rise of the BNP, but they should remember why people voted for them and not for the main parties :doh

the rise of the far-right is not just in the uk

Holland's anti-Islamic and Euro-sceptic Freedom Party, headed by Right-wing politician Geert Wilders, won 17 per cent of the vote to gain four seats at its first European election.

the right wing anti-immigrant populists of the Danish People’s Party took the election campaign by the scruff of the neck and more than doubled its score to 14.8%, taking two seats. It has been in government as the largest partner in a populist minority administration since 2001, and is considered the driving force behind tightened legislation on Denmark’s foreigners.

The Austrian right wing party got roughly 13% of the vote.

and many more countries saw votes rise of the far-right, start of the end of the EU ?


but in all this, at least a bit of common sense only from the swedes :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Cameron's a joke, no experience at all. I have not heard one constructive sentence from camy. on the other hand Gordon Brown's the man to lead us out of this mess. Don't forget he was put in this mess not his on doing, but the Global Recession. if anyone thinks that electing a Torie Muppet will help, it won't. No P.M could have solved this. Politicians have been riping off ppl for decades. why is it Browns fault. Cameron gets in thats bad very bad, all hes good at is slagging Brown off. :cwm23:



How come many countries when they had good times put money aside and prepared for the bad times?
Please tell me what Browns plans for the future.

Cameron maybe no good as a PM i have no Idea. But I do no Gordon Brown was in charge fo the Finances for almost a decade and in that time made no provisions for the bad times. Wheres our soverign fund which many countries are using to invest their ways out.

How many British companies will be no longer British and even less loyalty to British workers?

Remeber all our taxes have not yet shot though the roof. A lot of people in Public sector gonna have the shoock of there lives when who ever is in charge has to start paying back the huge debts incurred:NoNo:

If your parents had run a household as that prat had and left the finances in such a mess your love for them might have been a little tested im sure.

:Erm: In what way, Adam?

I`m not sure Arthur but as your previous post says many people are sick to the back teeth of muslims at the moment and thats a fact. I know the people I talk to in my area cant stand them. Wether thats right or wrong isn`t an issue for them, it`s just the way they feel.
Personally I dont know why we build anything other than churches. As far as i`m aware the history of England doesnt involve mosques or any other temples, just churches.
Yes I agree , to get our non-violent/radical wives here is such a hard task and it makes me so :censored: angry to have those spongers here. I`m not sure how they managed to prove the " no access to public funds" part of the visa!
Luckily my area is mainly english but I wonder how many people walk into their local shop and find someone in a burger (yes I know thats spelt wrong!) working behind the counter? maybe it infringes their rights to work?

Anyway, back to the thread subject, i`m sure it`ll be p100=£1 by the time I can afford to go back to Phil with my family :icon_lol:

Adam,one of the two guys I REALLY trust 100% is muslim,he is of pakistani origin,I actually took £2000 over to pinas for him in march to help a family out,he is a grade A guy,always gives a 10'th of his earnings to the poor,always gives away the interest from his bank accounts etc,but he actually said to me its a disgrace the way the british government pander to the whims of extremists,who come here shouting about their rights while eroding the rights many british guys gave their lives to keep :NoNo:

[joebloggs]

Wheres our soverign fund which many countries are using to invest their ways out.



he did what thatcher did, but worse she sold the family silver, he gave away the gold at a knock off price :doh

# Gold sales: Between 1999 and 2002 Brown sold 60% of the UK's gold reserves at $275 an ounce.[43] It was later attacked as a "disastrous foray into international asset management"[44] as he had sold at close to a 20-year low. He pressured the IMF to do the same,[45] but it resisted. The gold sales have earned him the pejorative nickname "Golden Brown", after the song by The Stranglers.[46]

Also a while back in the US things from what i heard in the media and from yanks was things were getting better and now its not.
From what I hear from our colleagues at our various sister companies in the US is that Public services (rather than private companies) are taking a pounding due to huge cuts and more demand:NoNo: We keep hearing thats going to affect the UK in the next few years:Help1:

thatcher did it here, sold millions of council houses off at what half price ? and i'm sure many who qualified for the maximum discount were pestered by banks to take or offered a loan they would not normally get.

a live near a council estate and the roofs are being replaced, and its obvious that those houses which had their roofs replaced are still owned by the council and those that didn't are now privately owned, looked to be about 50-50 !.

I would have thought your going into Gold if the Chinese carry on as they intend getting rid of the dollar as standard trading currency.

[KeithD]

I would have thought your going into Gold if the Chinese carry on as they intend getting rid of the dollar as standard trading currency.
Gold has been overbought the last 18 months.

As for China, their currency value is tied to the $$$$ in order to keep up the high levels of business with the US which feeds the Chinese economy. It would be a disaster for them if they changed that.

The Euro is in a strong position to do that but it makes no economic sense.

So why they pushing so hard for a new reserve currency? A bit of short term pain for long term gain. THe Chinese ecomony from what i read is still growing even with the US and most of the worlds ecomonies declining.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8120835.stm

Im told by people who understand this all far better than I do. That people with mucho dollars are looking elsewhere and mainly at resources and of course gold.

Plus the UK and US will at some point need to inflated like crazy to reduce both national and indivudals debt. Good or necessary for the country but possibly not for those holding the dollar or pound as investors abroad.

I have this image now of the UK expanding and then suddenly getting caught by the wind hopefully it will land somewhere need phill :D

Also backs up what our work forecasts say which are very accurate i have found when looking back.

The worrying thing is everyone keeps mentioning the W and we are bang in the middle:omg: Even heard one of those dragons mentioning in a TV interview the other evening. Sounds like wheter true or not everyone is talking themselves into it and could the UK and US go though another big plunge:Erm:

Anyway sod all this im off to enjoy the sunshine at least thats still free:xxgrinning--00xx3::D

Before China done anything they'd have to make an official trading currency, they can't presently do that as they would go into zero growth.

Russia is unlikely to back them as the vast majority of resources go to the West, and deal is $$$/€€€, and the Arabs will only deal in $$$.

If it was so easy to do, the €€€ is a trading currency and we'd be trading oil in €€€, but that would have an effect on every trading country on the planet.

If inflation goes up in the US, then usually the bank rate goes up as well making Bonds more valuable to other countries to support the debt, and so the $$$ would gain strength.

Thats why the chinese and Bric are pushing longterm for IMF to sort out the SDR. That and work on the rembini and the real taking over from the Dollar in trade deals.

I asked about the Euro but the response i hear from people is that there is to many issues going on in the East and what we are seeing is only the tip of the iceberg as western european bank who own most of the eastern european ones are dumping all the problems over there and of course there is a big credit crunch issue going on there in many countries in the easten half of the region.

Kuwait now use a currency basket im told and thats what the compromise will most likely be a split between dollar,euro,yen and sterling.


Normally the bank rate would go up slowly if inflation rises as you want to stop it happening buit if you didn't to inflate your way out of to big a debt burden was the situation mentioned. So not atrractive to investors. Thats only to stop the UK/US defaulting.

I only go on what i hear from people who work in that business (most of it bores me sensless:D only ask and listen for news on peso/pound)

Im sure the sitaution will have changed by next week anyway:)

I keep reading the pinoy ecomony is having some bad results which may mean the peso drops in value. With exports and balance of trade badly effected, so a weaker currecny might help there. Bad for the People but good for our other halfs.

I didn't realise until checking my own facebook page created by the missus that i had a hundred plus friends all based in phill who some of i vaguely recognise. That i work on farms and in restaurants plus have my own. I just get these weird emails a friend has worked on your farm:rolleyes:

I think the B of E saying quantitative easing will continue shocked the city bods who it seemed strangely many seem to think we were on the mend. Some thought it might be 25 or even nothing instead they went for 50 billion:omg: Saying they have no idea if its working or not yet and will have no idea for a long time they also don't know yet where the money has gone. Mr admin boss po was it you i saw down in threadneedle street with the wheelbarrows of cash:Erm::D

I read the other day its rumoured now that the bank of England will keep printing 25 billion or more a month:omg: for a good few months at least until the leaves fall of the trees:doh
Many people I have asked were worried that the Pound was gaining in strength and they wanted a weaker pound:Brick: Im guessing their partners are not phills:D

Did others notice last month many seemed to be trying to talking up the British economy, while things have settled and people started to be a bit more sensible. People have gone back to trying to stretch buying houses already near me i can think of three houses deals that have fallen though.
Hopefully things are on the up and its just a blip, and these people were just unlucky.

The nasty worry is the W predicted by many economists seems to at the half way point. Many companies barely survived the last drop let alone another plus all the public bodies need to start shed jobs and reducing spending soon surely:Erm:

Anyway the weekend is here the Wifes sent her money for the month and hopefully in a months time the Philippines will have decided to print money sorry quantitative easing is the way forward:D

Yes :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The pound is dropping now. Why? Other countries are coming out of the recession without wasting anywhere near the Billions our government has. :doh

Which will no doubt go down in history as the biggest transfer of wealth! From the working and middle class via taxes to the traders and bankers who can't afford to lose their investments :doh
