Yes the exchange rate can be frustrating especially for any of you who has sent a large amount of money into Philippines, £12,000 is a large sum and you would loose quite a lot on the exchange rate especially if it goes back to 92 and above towards end of the month.
It has gradually cost me more and more over last few weeks to defend the remittances I send to Philippines and to back up Andy's point about supporting people.
Yes I support people in the Philippines with my income, and I am a foreigner, no different to any other OCW who sends money, or wife or Fiancee, I have my own list to support, they are relying on my remittances, so when people do approach me on the high street and ask me to support children in the 3rd world, (which by the way doesn't always immediately click)
I can reply yes I already support a number of people in the 3rd world, good point Andy, never thought of it that way.
