Morning all,

I'm off to France on holiday later in the summer, and I'm wondering when might be the best time to buy Euros, depending on the outcome of the referendum.

If Remain wins, will there be a sudden positive spike before things settle back down, suggesting buying quickly would be a good plan? Alternatively, might Sterling slowly strengthen, making it more sensible to wait until just before I go?

Likewise, if it's a Leave vote, will Sterling plummet and stay low, plummet and then bounce back a bit, or just decline slowly?

I guess anyone who could predict this accurately would probably already be a millionaire, but I'm wondering what everyone thinks?

Looks like Kermit's holiday just got a lot more expensive!
I'm just glad I'd paid everything but the spending money - and one week of the two is full board including beer & wine - up front!

Still, it's all small change compared to how fked we're all going to be for the next 5-10 years after yesterday's vote! hehe
