The exchange rate to move money back to sterling is crazily cheap at the moment. It was $2.55 when i bought money over in 2007....
I buy my shirts from Harvie and Hudson. I paid around $85 a shirt last time I ordered from them. This time it was around $65 including postage. Works for me.

Not so good for me though!Will be moving to Oz later this year and the exchange at the moment is $1.65 to the pound. Last year it was $2.30 which is a huge difference. Will be renting until the pound picks up.

Me three. The rate's been getting worse as the months go by, and with Nick Clegg performing so well (relatively speaking of course) on the TV Election debate, the pound is falling on the fears of a hung parliament.
Should have moved over years ago.
Plan on renting for a while too. Anyway, at this rate I'll be stuck at the airport as I'm supposed to be flying out there on Tuesday 27th!

Theres a genuine sense within the industry that the aussie $ is overpriced. It also looks like great value against the pound due to the recent news surrounding the potential for a hung UK parliament and therefore the inability of the UK govt to sort itself out.
Therefore if the parliament in the UK isnt hung, the chinese revalue their currency, the US $ strengthens (which i think it will) expect the aussie $ to worsen and take it nearer the 2gbp to the $1 mark by year end.
Just my thoughts and happy to be wrong.

I'd love to take the car with me but i've not owned it for 12 months. It's been about 10.5 and i can't delay the journey by 6 weeks.
Well done on missing the winter there, although I'm told it's quite mild.
How long have you been waiting for this and are you taking your car?

Safe trip. May even meet in Melbourne!

When my partner went to the UK 7.5 years back £1 got you AU$3!Therefore if the parliament in the UK isnt hung, the chinese revalue their currency, the US $ strengthens (which i think it will) expect the aussie $ to worsen and take it nearer the 2gbp to the $1 mark by year end.

When I moved out 5.5 years back it was around the £1 to AU$2.50 but only very briefly. I experienced a few months of sub $1 petrol and the like but it very quickly began to climb the slope to boomtown.
