| Midian you will get a better rate in the UK than Albufeira, albeit only a few cents but it mounts up when you are changing a substantial amount.Only problem with changing a large amount of money is the security of it all. Better still if you have a Nationwide Flexi account debit card use that at the ATM machines, there is no charge and the rate is Visa business rate, you can withdraw 200 euros per day. |

Possibly the final collapse of the western capitalist economy. The reality is that exchange rate £ to € is falling rapidly once more, so if you are planning to spend £2000 while on holiday later this year, maybe it's time to enter the sleazy world of international money dealing. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Well it was 1.21 (full rate) back in September, went down to 1.124 in October but has been rising slowly ever since to today's 1.174. Don't get too gleeful - even if it stays on the up, the increases in the £ to € rate will be more than swallowed up by the forthcoming Portuguese VAT rises and 'adjustments' due in January. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

I was offered 1.17 by Moneycorp on Thursday.
They say it is the level of European debt that is helping the rate rise, not the strength of the Pound. Another finance meeting, I believe for Portugal, on Thursday, so it may continue to rise until then.
