Hi all,

I have just read that the PM plans to trigger Article 50 on the 29 March (next Wednesday).

Hopefully link works!

With this in mind, is it worth getting some euros before then? My trip isn't until September but wondering how much the pound to euro rate will recover by then as no doubt it'll drop such as it did at the referendum results.

It's a gamble either way. By September that may have recovered again it depends on what follows.
I was fortunate enough to go to china last year. Brexit happened 2 weeks before we went and we hadn't got money yet. It affected it so much as we got no where near as good a rate.
But with it not being until September you might be alright.

Thanks ChipandDale99  :)

I may order some online this weekend just to be on the safe side as I am also going to Santorini next June and Disney World next November so even if I save myself a tenner, that can go towards one of the other two.
