    the £ to peso has dropped from about 94 or 95 to £, to 90 in just over a week

    anyone know why ? must be the elections ??

    i remember getting like 107 to £ a couple of years ago, but i also remember getting like lows 80's or less 6yrs or more ago...

    nah but i send money to my wifes aunt, to pay for my wifes cousin, to do a nursing degree, the guy had a hard life, he never had much contact with his parents, his mom abandoned him and his dad was a drunk and gambler. just giving him a better start in life

    oh ive editied it, i tihnk i might be wrong about what i said about him mom

    anyway, i know hes had a really hard life, who wants to look after someone else kids, when your struggling with your own,, but to my wife, hes like a younger brother..

    I know this is not funny...but it does made me laugh

    Maybe theres a mathematical explanation to it?

    Peso / corrupt government = sterling pounds

    insanity- doing the same thing over and over again,expecting a different outcome...

    The explanation is that the rate then was £1.00= PHP15.00.
    When it went to PHP20.00 we all thought we were rich!!
    Now I feel like a zillionaire.

    I have a feeling that the ££ will go down further due to the housing crash and rising inflation thats on the horizon..
    This is bad news for me..I might even buy a shed load of Euros before its too late.

    housing crash wow ive been waiting years for this to happen...

    £ is still worth near 2 usd thou.

    I could be wrong but when Interest rates are set to hit 6% at least by year end to control rising inflation..With people paying mortgages at 6 times their annual salary,somthing has to give.. IMO it will be a housing CRASH!!
    Im not sure how immigrants can afford our property prices and with landlords profits reducing to less than 3% they would be better off selling up and stashing the money in the bank.. They can get 6.25% with a simple savings bond these days.
