It did, at 2.00pm this afternoon, but it's rallied since then, currently at 1.1449 (just before 5.00pm)
Still not great though, oh for the 1.48 rate just over five years ago! Be a long time, if ever, before we see that again! Then again, if you were selling up and bringing money back this way....

Euro now worth 86.3 pence ... a 15 month low.  Best you`ll get is around 1.135.

Potential good news for the pound is that the DAVOS FORUM yesterday concluded that the Euro needs to weaken for Trade competition and productivity, but everyone agreed that there would be little growth around the world and money will be very cheap indeed following more quantitative easing, particularly in the US ... which means lots of it will be available very soon.

It takes DEBT off the tittle-tattle agenda for quite a while. But it is by no means certain where that tidal wave of cash will go ... or that the euro will, in fact, weaken. Especially, with a totally incompetent `government` in London.

Algarve Daily News Today
International currency transfers can now be done by a new online app on Facebook.

The money transfer service began this week.  Users may send money to more than 125 countries.The low-cost service was set up by Azimo, a UK-based company that says it is the first time users will be able to send money between international bank accounts via Facebook.Azimo founder Michael Kent said it undercuts high street bank charges by up to 85%.  It added that normally the transfer is made within 24 hours.Globally the market is worth US$500 billion.  Two of the biggest transfer players are Western Union and Moneygram.Such high fees have prompted the World Bank to investigate the “remittances” market. Its research shows that the average commission on a money transfer is nearly 10%, rising to almost 20% for some countries.High street banks fees for international transfers are exceedingly well-known to users.  HSBC, for example, demands as much as £30 for a customer sending money from their account to another person’s HSBC account overseas.

BBC News tonight said the closing rate was 1.16
FairFX on line are currently at 1.141 for £1k, you can get a better rate if you're changing a larger sum, and free transfer to your Euro account, UK or abroad.

Well, just when we thought it was all doom & gloom on the Euro front, the official rate has done a complete u-turn over the last 2 days & has gone back up 3 whole cents from earlier this week.
Currently stands at just over 1.18

If anyone watched CNN Business on Wednesday evening, all the `experts` there confirmed (basically) what I wrote previously about the strength of the euro ... also emphasising the agreement on `closer` fiscal policy between all its members convincing many of its future reliability.

BNP Paribas compare many other factors and agree that the current rate is close to `true` value against pound and dollar ( where the euro has gained 12.5% since July) .... BUT, they expect the euro to go on rising to 1.40 dollars ... possibly 1.10 for the pound.
