Shouldn't £70 be closer to $120 (70 * 1.7 = 119)? Unless I was asleep in Economics... which is very likely. That was the most boring class I have ever taken.
Yeah I hate economic education things. Well Negative Ocy, you see in London I always change £63 for £100 but you have to pay extra for their profit. Thats the rule around here. And don't use the calculater in your PC to get the answer. Money exchange dealers use diffrent methods to get the accurate numbers and its uptodate data too.
I've never seen them take 20% of the money as profit in a currency conversion... at least not any any places I've used to convert my money (to pounds, euros, and yen).
... and I know rates vary depending on where you check.
I know MaxiKana, it's freaking expensive to buy cars in Finland. That's why the best thing is to get a good deal in e.g. Germany (which I'm planning on to do), say a used (but in very good shape) BMW for 1000€ while in Finland it'd cost what, 7000-9000€. Bloody outrageous, that's what it is.
