We are in the midst of one of the deepest recessions to hit us since the Great Depression in 1929. With over 2 million unemployed and the deficit ever rising there has never been less faith on the international market than there is now. Because we live in an age where monetary systems are governed according to confidence, you only have to imagine the effect that this lack of faith is having on the value of Sterling and, lo and behold, we are currently seeing a devaluation of the currency. This means that everything abroad has suddenly become much more expensive as the Euro is much less favourably exchanged with the pound.

You might even be able to afford an extra night out whilst on your holiday. And let’s face it, if it’s the choice between having a plastic plane meal or a meal out in a gourmet French restaurant, there is only one thing that you are going to choose!
