Akira Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 As a British citizen I am extremely upset about having to pay over-extortionate prices for U.S. goods due to the appalling exchange rate. About a year a go, £1 was more or less $2 A month a go, £1 was roughly $1.39 It's now gone up to $1.44 and I can only hope that it continues to rise =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I <3 exchange rates XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah, while this sucks for me it's probably great for all you yanks >.> Thing is, when it was £1 to $2, things were about right - something cost £10 here it would cost $20 in America. The £ has lost value but U.S. prices haven't changed, so we have to pay moar T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 You "Yanks" Shoud be grateful that you are spending a lot less on Fuel. Prices for a Litre of Petrol here has hovered around the £1 mark for nearly 2 years now. If the Goverment didn't charge so much Fuel Duty then it would be around 50p. Also lately it is nice to see a slight reduction in VAT, I loved the way all the Supermarkets used it as a Marketing scheme (SAVE 2.5% OFF OF YOUR SHOPPING! ^_^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Phoenix® Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Actually, with the American exchange rate being bigger then the British, it's good for americans, how else do they make their money. They send muchandice over to us and get twice as much, which is why they are richer then us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
