    Default The British Pound Hits 26 Year High Against The $

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7069087.stm

    Sorry to my friends on the other side of the pond, but I couldn't be happier about this with coming over to Florida next week.

    In fact I have just got the suitcases out ready to start to pack and inside the case I found a transaction slip that showed the exchange rate we got the last time we went to Florida. This was in 2000 and then we got $1.41 to every £1. This time we will get very near to $2.00 to every £1.

    The Canadian dollar is up too!!

    I just won something from Canada, they usually want U.S. dollars in paypal.

    With their strong dollar they wanted payment in Can Dollars.

    $120.00 buy cost me 129.00

    Yes the Canadian dollar is higher than the US dollar for the first time since November of 1977...

    cant blame them really, just like the USA sellers selling on ebay UK and asking for British pounds.

    That is going to hurt as Rome is not a cheap place to be hanging out at the best of times.
