2.2 when I first went to Switzerland........... I may just have to stay away as the petrol will be too expensive

Even with the crazy exchange rate it's still cheaper to buy petrol here than in the UK. I pay around £1.3 a litre for 99 RON in Zurich. Benefit of living in a country without oppressive taxes.

I don't buy my petrol in the UK

[DJRC]

Any particular reason for the 2.5 rappen loss today?

[scrubberamit]

strong chf numbers combined with v weak gbp numbers - people just piling into buying chf

[UltimaCH]

Worries with the Yen apparently and the Swissy used as refuge currency

Must admit I was working on an intitial calculaton of 1.3 by Xmas. I then revised that to 1.25, looks like 1.2 might be more accurate!

[UltimaCH]

Roll on February and hoping the CHF remains as strong as I have to pay my future projet in £. Sorry for you who are paid in GBPs

[DJRC]

Sorry I spoke too soon, I take it back.

Under 1.26 now.

This is crazy.

[DJRC]

1.255

Er have I missed the Apocalypse and nobody has told me or something?

[DJRC]

And under 1.25.

Bugger me.

[snowmuncher]

think you're estimate of 1.2 @ xmass is a bit optimistic tbh
