Thank you for your kindness. Could you order some more quickly so the rest of us can get a good rate?

Seriously though, I don't think 1.50 is a bad rate. I have used that as a 'base' figure for the last 3 years or so and if it's close enough to that I'm happy. Anything more is a bonus

Ditto. As soon as it hits 1.50 im getting £1000 worth. Still hv &800 to play with.

As the US has now signed an order to start spending cuts this may lead to a drop in the $ on Monday when the markets reopen.

1.43 at the Co op today. I'm holding out for 1.5. Gamble I know.....

 

[scoobydooby]

Oh yes. Up, Up , Up!!!!!!!

 

[Samaya]

Dropped just below $1.50 over night and at 7.30 this morning it's only just above 1.50 at GBP / USD 1.50051, seems to be coming under a little more pressure, hope today brings better news.

Hope for a better rate soon, we really need to buy some dollars

 

[Samaya]

Broke below $1.49 this morning to $1.4867 and at 1.00pm it's now $1.48850, seems to be going in just one direction, hope for a reversal soon, otherwise we might see an increase to the fuel surcharge on flight tickets along with other holiday products, car hire, hotels, etc.

Im keeping a very close on eye on it, and willing it to go back up!

I'd planned on taking $3000, and that will set me back £2040 currently with Fair FX, where as It would have set me back £1900 if I'd got my money back in November..... Im hanging on a bit longer, if it gets anywhere near 1.4 I think I'd buckle...

UP! UP! UP! PLEASE!

Still a few cents to go till then but praying and fingers crossed that you don't need to buckle, just slightly above $1.49 now, keep on willing......

The best rate I can get is 1.47. Luckily we don't need a lot as we've got some left from last time. It's ridiculous how low it is at the moment.

More bad news released this morning at 9.30 for U.K. industrial production which unexpectedly fell in January, has placed more pressure on the Pound this morning, started declining at 9.31 and at 9.42 it's $1.48366.
