              12:00 1.185
              Now 1.107

              So that's a loss of £78 in a couple of hours on a £1000 FX for someone on holiday

                not sure where you got your figures from but it was no where near 1.185. it closed at 1.1151 yesterday, so maybe you meant 1.1185?

                So it's a loss of about £10.

                    I think you are right... I won't rush to the FX then

                      You're comparing 2 different timeframes?

                      I watch £/$ anyway which has already shrugged this news off. The technical are still intact
