I'm just sitting here quietly, smiling to myself. A few years back (June 2001) I had the poor timing to visit the US by flying out the day after the Blair government was voted back in. Sterling dropped through the floor & we wre getting something just a shade over $1.30 to the £1.

THAT was an expensive holiday. Planning to go back next month to take advantage of the $2 per £1!
