It is not very often that the Express and the Independent agree on their front page story but this morning they have.
It's all about our falling currency against the Euro,the Express telling us
Families last night faced the grim prospect of having to find an extra £700 to pay for their summer holidays.
The latest blow to budgets already being squeezed by spiralling bills came as the pound plunged to a record low against the euro.
Experts warned that the price of a two-week package holiday for an average family of four could rise by around £450. On top of that, spending on holiday essentials could shoot up by another £250.
Whilst the Independent reports
Tens of millions of British people will experience their own credit crunch on holiday this year as the soaring value of the euro forces them to pay more for everything from the price of a coffee in a Parisian cafe to a hotel room in Barcelona. As currency traders pushed the European single currency to a record high against the pound yesterday, holidaymakers were coming to terms with the fact they now have almost a fifth less spending power on the Continent than a year ago.
