Gaz Walker Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Just a quick bump - then Yen has dropped today to 172 to the pound which is quite frankly horrible - yesterday I was calculating prices at 182. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz. I have been watching it as well Prices for my R34 are getting horrendous! Looks like one in the UK would be a better option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just saw, rate is currently 167.900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Another bump. This is absolutely horrendous. The yen now is 141 to the pound. It was higher than that when we started in business some 6 years ago. To give you some idea, last July (2007) if you bought a 80mm Greddy Ti-R exhaust, the price was £820. If you bought the same exhaust 2 months ago it was £980, and if you bought it today £1350. I hope it changes for the better soon Best Regards, Gaz.

Fifty Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 : this is not good pound is collapsing against everything = thank you Gordon Oh how I wish id bought in CR in July I would be laughing, instead wiping thousands off Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Or maybe the pound was artificially high like a lot of things in this country huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 But wasn't everyone praising Gordon recently for saving us all?? TBH, that was all extrememly premature. The way the currency is going at the moment, the BOE won't have a chance of dropping the interest rates as this would drive Sterling down even further - in fact if Sterling keeps this up, interest rates will have to go back up again. Gordon has f*@ked it up properly as we've got no money to try and buy some of the cash back to stem the flow of sterling being dumped on the money markets.

SteveR Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I feel that the Yen will come back into line slightly; Japan's experts even warned not to think Yen will keep rising in relative value, as they see a correction coming However, we've devalued the pound by dropping the base rate, announcing that we're entering a recession, and by the expectation that we'll drop the base rate further (!) which only serves to look after people who mismanage money ahead of looking after those who were sensible and/or had savings instead of massive debts. But wasn't everyone praising Gordon recently for saving us all?? Only very stupid people who can't see what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I realise that not everybody is as interested in the Euro/GBP exchange rate - but that is suffering just as horribly. Working in the freight industry, we have to be right on top of the fuel costs (our drivers buy all their fuel on the continent where it is cheaper); as we also pay all our hauliers in Euros too, we find that our costs are increasing week by week, rather than month by month - and at a rate I've never experienced before. At the beginning of the year, the English pound was worth just over 1.50 Euros - the latest official exchange rate is 1.18 (I believe), and we are calculating costs at 1.20. The situation really is strangling the life out of the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It supposed to be a world credit crisis and yet the £ is worst hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
