pounds (and euro) has been weakening (cheaper to change) since
wednesday....
let's see mustafa's rates (S$ needed for 1£)....
31/12 3.0100
01/01 3.0110
02/01 3.0065
03/01 3.0150
04/01 2.9940
05/01 2.9790
seems like a good time to change, but most will give u 3-to-1... u
can try to bargain for 2.95-to-1, though it usually doesn't work
when the rates are on ur side....
in my case, yen was getting more expensive, a few days ago was
1-to-77.5, now 1-to-76.5, but i bargain my way to 1-to-77...
anyway, another place good for changing pounds would be is people's
park centre, but there are many so ask around... they also follow
the market's rates on the ground....
also note that mustafa's rates change very fast, according to forex
markets... it could have changed by the time u travel from ur house
there, but the website is a good gauge nonetheless..... one con
here is that u can't bargain ur rates, they go by the plasma TV
there... one pro is it's 24-hours....
