2010 exchange rate

[scruffy]

dont no about the exchange rate what about the tax going up that will make a difference  to the prices out there

[stavros]

Last year a vodka coke was costing me about 4 Euros which sounds steep but when you consider that every drink is a double or more its not that bad, the only other thing that the tax would affect me with is fags and as they were only about £2 a packet i think i will survive..

If they put tax on liver and lung transplants then i am well and truly stuffed

Hey folks its gone dear everywhere you go on holiday now even here in Florida  the half gallon of scotch whisky Jack buys in the liqour store here as gone up to $15 (£9 ) but we make the best of it come what may We work hard so sod the euro and the dollar lets live for today and have bloody good time on our holls ............because your a long while dead 

[daveeboy]

Floridians were complaining its the coldest winter on record  so what  they may have frost on the roofs but no snow so whats the problem  we loved it out there  we sat in the Jacuzzi and swam in the pool at 100 degrees   so no worries   

[stavros]

Carole are you sure the pool thermostat works properly, 100 degrees sounds very warm to me

[bazwood]

i know you get nothing to the pound for drachmas now

Sure I'm sure Stav  100 degrees it was and our Jack can vouch for it as he set the temp  and as we sat in the Jacuzzi with an ice cold beer all our aches and pains melted away

[painterman]

that was poss the voddie our kid

[stavros]

And as for the bubbles i think you will find that was because the water boils at 100 degrees.

Even Lobsters squeal in that sort of heat

[Just Carole]

Sorry it was 100 Fahrenheit

Us 4 repprobates are going to Benidorm on Saturday now do we get our euro's before we go   or get them from the hole in the wall when we get there    please advise us because were only twirly's (OAP) and on a limited budget  so we have to watch our penny's /euro's  cause we're saving up to go to Tsilivi in June

If you have a nationwide flex account then get it from the hole in the wall as you get the bank rate not the tourist rate.
I have just come back from malaga and the exchange rate was around 106-108.Hope this helps.

[Just Carole]

I used the hole in the wall last year in Benidorm and found it a better rate

But wondered if it is still the same this year with way the £ is against the euro


But I'll do it again this year Cheers  Beesty

Has anyone used Crown Currency Exchange or Travel Money Services?

If you order in advance you seem to get a better rate.  Don't know if anyone's had any dealing with them.
