I’m off to the US for a holiday in September plus possibly a second to Europe at Christmas, do you think it’s worth buying some $ or € now before the vote? I hear about a drop (possibly temporary) in the exchange rate if we vote out so is it worth a gamble? Equal could the £ strengthen if we stay in?

Bit of a gamble I guess.

Didn't buy any, wish I had though. I was at Glastonbury and got a message from my mate saying it was nearly 1.5 (just before the vote), I nearly asked him to take a punt and get me £500 worth but thought it was a bit cheeky.

Not going until September so there is some time to recover (hopefully). I've been rather unlucky with $ to £, when I last went in 2009 it was really low, look like the same will happen again.
