Where do you stash yours?
Ha, I have not uploaded the last cooking to the appropriate thread, but I bought some beef in Milano. The price difference is more than 3x for aged bistecca alla fiorentina. Below the limit for declaration, anyway it felt funny to drive across the border with a couple steaks and thinking about questions from border guards ![]()
This:
The franc has hit record highs against the euro – 93 centimes will buy one euro.
Analysts say the franc is benefitting from its safe haven status in an uncertain world – but the euro’s also being dragged down by the political uncertainty in France.
It’s good news for those who live and shop in the eurozone – but it’s also bad news for exporters as it makes their products more expensive.
It’s also a double-edged sword for those who live in France and pay tax directly as income calculations are based on euro exchange rates – so they’d be earning more and paying more tax.
Commentators suggest the franc’s strength is set to last a while yet.
Has a lot to do with it.
