    Yesterday it dropped to 61.29

    Lets hope it'll creep up a bit.
    These political goings on in Italy have helped the pound from going below 60, but my guess is that is just a short term thing.
    The only way for the pound is down

    To be honest, I doubt it will change much.
    Better to look around for the best exchange rate with lowest fees.

    Get that pressie sent, the difference in GBP will not be a great deal

    What a pile of ..... I'll never forget around 100 pesos to the pound when i first ever went. And also how gutted i was when i went back and it was only 89 pesos. Since then it has been in freefall. really does make me mad. How can a currency drop by almost half in value against another?

    That's because Britain has been borrowing lots of money to give away to the EU neighbouring countries who came here and milk the system...just my stupid rants and opinions..

    I think the recent past movement was based mainly on the Peso strength against other currencies.. Now the Pound has dropped re AAA rating news and EU turmoil,Italian election B/S.. Blah bla bla..
    Lowest Ive changed at was 12-1 and the highest was 108.00-1..
    We changed quite a large sum a month ago and Im now wishing we cleaned out our UK accounts.
    Oh well!!...Stiff upper lip and all that!!!
    On wards and upwards!!...For the Peso anyway!

    Just came back form the bank and the manager reckons the rates are being manipulated by the BSP and they should be about 20% higher.
    She told me a lot more but i didn't have a clue what it meant!
    I moved what little money we had in the UK about 6 years ago at 96-1. Glad i did!

    We'll be going back in a few weeks for the first time since my wife arrived in the UK (3 years ago). The peso is now at it's worst since I've known her.

    For me, the first time I went to the Philippines about 5 years ago, I think it was around 75/76 pesos to the pound, so the current rate is not as bad for me as it may be for some of the rest of you guys. Still hurts though!

    I look at this way. I like others are supporting my wife in the phils in other words contributing to the phil economy. Wouldnt it be better being spent in this country? No wonder this country is in a mess.

    I've just sold my house in Muscat, money should be coming over in 4-5 weeks time. So a weak pound is very good for me at the moment

    That's awful! Looks like it's heading towards 50! It was 68 when I went last May/June.
