I checked again today, and the same GBP 17.99 "translates" to U$ 33.32. That means, that the buying power of the (once almighty) dollar has shrunk to 80/% in half a year (or less).
I sympathize with you all, don't get me wrong, but think of us poor Australians (and New Zealanders too) who changed the currency from pounds to dollars in the late sixties. At first, our dollar was worth half a pound, since that's how they worked it out. It was also worth half an Engllish pound at the time, and one American dollar. Thirty odd years later, our dollar is worth about 35 English pence, and about 65-68 American cents. How's that for inflation?
