I can't believe the current exchange rate, it's ruining my business online! It's nearly £1 to $2, what do you feel about this? I find that americans are so much cheaper when it comes to parting with their money then us brits. When i used to design banners for clients most people would complain that $17 is to expensive (thats only like £8!) the price of a burger king

I dream of the day when the pound and the dollar are the same, but that will never happen, I guess I can't really complain it's good for our economy.

I don't sell anything online, therefore, the exchange rate is working in my favour.

It just keeps rising but I like it. If it goes down our pound will be worth less

Ive always really rounded the dollar up to being 50pence anyway. Its no big shock to me. It can only get better and bring the £ value up to the dollar.
