I don't think it's ever been favourable, but it was at one of it's lowest points that I recall back in 2001... right before I moved to the US, changing up all my money, Blair opened his big mouth and said the country was fully behind the Euro. Unfortunately, only big businesses and the government were "fully behind the Euro" and most countries who had joined it were struggling... so the pound sterling took a nosedive. I lost quite a bit of money that day.
