A Boy Named Crow Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've long wondered why news readers give exchange rates as whatever to the ppund, but with the Euro they give Euros to the pound, then say "which means a Euro us worth xxxpence". Why does the Euro get expressed both ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 And feck knows what will happen as a result of the Greek election. Or indeed the ECB's expected move to start QE this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the Euro get expressed both ways? Quite a lot of non UK europeans living here.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Would it be best to buy now although I'm not going away until the end of june Hard one to predict mate, what I've always found though its better to change abroad rather than here.

I P Knightley Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've long wondered why news readers give exchange rates as whatever to the ppund, but with the Euro they give Euros to the pound, then say "which means a Euro us worth xxxpence". Why does the Euro get expressed both ways? Most currencies are expressed as "How much will one dollar/Euro/zloty etc. cost me?" Answer: 77 pence. It's mainly ?Sterling that asks the question, "How much of that foreign money can I get for my British Pound?" Answer: 1.3 Euros. I put it down to the colonial arrogance but there may be a more sophisticated rationale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's similar to the fact they tell us the rangers and celtic results down here in England That and the fact the two were near parity not-so-very long ago, so it makes it a little clearer.
