Not as much as I will

Kinnel Joe, there's a thought, tissues will cost you twice as much...

With the current exchange rate, lap dances will be about £2.50 each.... I don't know how I'll cope with only one girl at a time.

It's affecting my brain, I'm having to use my calculator again. Much easier when £ = $/2

bought my first record in months this week only to find out exchange rate has been crap lately

gutted and record was only 12-50 including postage , should have been a tenner

I'm going to the US in a couple of weeks and then again end of December. I forward purchased my $ for my November trip as soon as it started looking a bit dodgy, so got $1.80 for the £.

I did the same again today for my December trip and could only get $1.64. That's a 10% difference in just a couple of weeks.

I'm hoping that it gets better before I go in December, as I've not bought all the currency that I'll need, but I'm hoping it gets better.

We've not been used to having to do this for a long time now. On previous trips of late I've just got a few $ to start me off and used credit cards & cash machines for everything.

I bagged a tune last week off e bay - 400 dollars so E bay converted it to £230 - I left it a couple of days and paid for it with Western Union (This seller wont use paypal)

And they converted 400 dollars to 250 quid (the exchange rate had changed) and then there is their bleeding fee !!!!

Most pissed off I was !!

Another thing - Do you think American dealers adjust there prices on their websites when exchange rates change in their favour ?

Its just I missed out the other week on the copy of "Tony Galla" - "In Love" that John Manship had on his site for 300 quid in mint - Someone mentioned that Craig Moerer had one - so I checked it out - yes - he had one for 750 dollars which now works out at 460 quid !!!! (it would have been 325 a year ago)

Just a thought

It may be $1.50 before the end of the day! Just checked Yahoo and it was one $1.53...... hang on , it's now $1.52

Actually, it suits me cos I sold a load of work in the States last year and didn't bring the money over because of the unfavourable exchange rate ($2.11 about a year ago) Now, I would get £100's extra, just for waiting.......
