    Exchange Rate

    When i was over in the Philippines last April the exchange rate i got quoted was anything from £1 = 75pesos - £1 = 89pesos but when we sent money to the Philippines yesterday the rate was £1= 97pesos was a great rate for anyone sending money now or heading over soon...

    Thats a good rate from Western Union as they are usually one of the worst. I only use them as a last resort as they cost too much...

    Western Union is a rip off! they charged too much.

    So I used the best way money transfer now, and it cost me nothing.

    I use a place called CBN which i think is connected to a bank in London and can send up to £1000 for only a charge of £5 and always a great rate!!

    blimey more spamadelic nonsense. 95.44 is like saying your council tax was just 1500quid, or that your mobile phone operator charges just one pound a minute for calls to the fil.

    110 is ok. when uk interest rates rise again we'll see it again.
