About this time last year the gf and I visited her brother in Dubai; looking at the graph of the £ against AED you can see the exact week we went because the £ was at its very lowest!

We're going again shortly, so about a month ago I looked again and was pleased to see that it was much higher than last year.

I just looked again to see the £ falling like a stone once more. Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

It's fluctuations innit. We have the same problem going to France, fuel is about £1.40 a litre and it's cost about £3 for a cup of coffee.

Maybe I should ask BAE for a contribution... 🙂

To be fair it's good for me - I live in Dubai and send money back to the UK. 😉
