No, it was just a messy stack papers where I saw a few of the numbers. I never had a very clean desk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I came here (beginning 2015) the rate was something like 70+ php to 1 GBP and it dropped to 60 php to 1 GBP around mid-end of 2017 - that's more than 16%. It's been around 65'ish for a while now so still a drop of 8 %. compared to the 70 i started at. It also reached 73 php to the gbp towards the end of 2018. - the current figure is a 12% drop compared to the 73 just a few months back. A fair bit of movement during the 4 years I've been here.

For me, Brexit has a very significant impact on retirement as it directly impacts my savings and my income on savings due to interest rates and exchange rates. I'm sure this is not only true for me amongst the Brit members of this forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
