Will possibly fall a bit further too but if thinking of buying, buy now.

Will be up in a few weeks time but chances of your whiskey remaining intact are slim

The Quays extension coming along nicely, the glass going on the canopy today. That opening in the Autumn and the pound going like it is there'll be a fair old procession of suvern motors heading north in the coming months.

I was only wondering what it was looking like there at the minute, I'd though the works were a multistory car park I didn't know it was more shops. I'd say getting parking in the run up to Christmas there will be fun if the exchange rates stay as is

Dec 2008 = 90p approx

24 Dec 2008 = 95p

29-Dec 2008 = 97.855 pence - highest ever.

No guarantee of parity guys or a worsening rate. If you've small items to buy, just to let you know:

A .90 STG rate is about £100= EUR111

A .95 STG rate is about £100= EUR 106

So the difference in rates on a £30 bottle of spirits will be less than 2 euro. There's was value already there in some spirits even 1 year ago due to a lot smaller NI prices as opposed to ROI price - just depends on the brand you're looking for.
