Watch the Greek Govt. or lack of. Just had elections as well and seemed to have voted out
the people that agreed the bailouts with the IMF.
They are against all the recent measures brought in to satisfy the bailout.

I'd advise waiting a week or so, see if there are surprises or upheavals with the new government coming in. When new governments take power they often like to throw out a few headline-grabbing policies and junk some of the ones from their predecessors, so give it a week or two and see how things pan out unless there's an especially good deal going anywhere.

You should be getting 1.2 Euro to the £ now.
You could wait and hope it gets better, which given the current mutterings from Greece, France and Italy is likey.
But you will be kicking your self if it slips below 1.2 again.

If you want to keep track of what the £/€ situation is, then this is the most accurate site I know of, it is the commercial rate though.

By the time I get there in July for the classic the Euro will be no more if Greece and Spain arry on as they are. We might be back to Francs, or gold coins or bartering away our wives.
I live in hope.

The falling euro is helping the German ecconomy, as it falls their exports get cheaper can you imagine how many BMW's Merc's etc they would sell if the price droped to half it's current rate
