Oh No US Dollar.
 

50cents for 1 uk Pound now - is this the lowest its ever been?

On the one hand its becoming less valuable to get US sales - on the other - I'll be able to buy the US soon

:)
:(

Dunno.

MrChips.

Its sad.... the only place where I feel like a get a good bargain for my dollars still is thailand where you can still buy a hooker for the price of a bucket of chicken.

sure
I wondered that it must be really expensive for US people to travel over europe now .....used to be vice versa

£200,000 in the UK gets you a three bed semi-detached house.
In the US - that converts to $400,000 - ohhhhhhhhhhhh baby - a 5 bed detatched with albeit shared pool in Palm Beach.

Sheesh... thought you were generalising and joking, but correct!

That time came sonner than expected... $0.5087 on exchange, tho still hovering around $1.9655. It's likely that it will get worse against the dollar shortly - least based on UK market trends.

Think it was in the early 90's when GBP/$ last reached that level.

Yeah i think this is the lowest, dunno how this will affect me when i go over to anerica in summer with my gf to meet her folks

it sucks

thats why you need to change things :)

You will feel rich beyond your wildest dreams. Her folks will look at you with awe as you flash your cash around :)

Hmmmmmm - I would still rather live in the UK tho - dont know why.

Hmmmm... This is not good.

But hey, on the bright side if and when things get better, think how nice the pay raise will be.

Because England is the greatest country in the world, that's why :thumbsup :winkwink: :error

I've been to London and Sheffield :thumbsup The food is pretty shitty though, i survived on fish and chips for a week :1orglaugh

It's fucked up, the swedish Krona has become 30% stronger against the $ the last 4 years, thats 30% income loss for me.... :mad:

Yeah, the food situation needs to change here... You're right, if you don't want fish and chips you're kinda screwed.

It's fucked compared to what it was a few years ago, especially here in the UK..... still since the thai currency is linked to the dollar I'll think I'll be alright there when I go in two weeks time ... :thumbsup

GREAT NEWS! My pound is $2 now, fucking sweet! Considering I'm moving to the states with a shitload of money it'll double. Nice!!!!

yep we are in a economic boom lol

Ah.. those were the days FC :1orglaugh :winkwink:

Fish n Chip fans - convert to KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN RIGHT NOW!!!!

10 buckets for the price of a bag of chips :)

Four years ago us Aussie were doubling our money when being paid in U.S.D.
I remember it being 48 cents u.s to the dollar...those where the days.
I just looked at the exchange rate...it's now over 78 cents to the $. Shit.

Is dropping so badly :(

India want to start outsourcing ... to the USA ....

why are there 10 different threads about the USD recently and not just 1?

sometimes I wish GFY was more serious

i think they are trying to get me to resign my citizenship

i mean the USA is good for two things... $$$ and "freedom" and both seem to be non existant.


i need to check out costa rica, yo

:)

All we can do is sigh...

Dollar in Moscow....
But now its about 26.00 :(

British irony is great.

It sucks if you live here in Europe, I have to say tho, I'm being paid in Euros so when I get back to the US on Wed, I will be a happy camper...

1.33 $ = 1 Euro
