I think sitting it out and waiting for it to improve in the short to medium term is a waste of time! Think we have to accept this is what its going to be (plus or minus one or two cents!) for the foreseable future.

Luckily for me it matters not one jot! because I dont use / need sterling for anything at all. But I do understand how tough it is for people who do ... my parents for example who live up near Tarrogona have lost a lot in the exchange of their UK pensions this past year - which in turn makes their cost of living seem hugely expensive now to what it was Spain is no longer a cheap option for retirement in their case!
