    Attention Dollar - Sterling Rate Highest Since Regan Was President Over 25 Years Ago

    Hey

    The Dollar has just passed the $ 2.10 to £ 1.

    Great time of year to fly over for a Xmas shopping Spree. Cheap flights to both NYC and Orlando and in Orlando, cheap hotels from $ 19.95 per night.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7082668.stm

    I bought 2 pair of Reebok Classics this week for $ 42 from the Reebok Factory Store at Premium Outlets in Lake Buena Vista. You would be hard pressed to find generic trainers for that in the UK.

    Regards

    Legal Eagle

    We rely too much on the US, they're housing crisis has seriously messed us up her.

    If the US cough's, everyone else catches a cold.

    Shares have taken a hammering.

    I need some computer components at the moment and I wish I had a contact over there willing to send at the moment as that is mental.

    Hopefully the States will collapse in on itself financially now.

    Who would have thought LE wears Reebok Classics

    (Just in case they had a different image while you were over here LE - Reebok classics are the chav trainer of choice. Also the most commonly found foot imprintation at burglary crime scenes )

    It makes the pound per dollar prices we have to pay on a lot of products here look even more sick.

    Other half has just come back from 5 day trip to New York and she couldn't believe how cheap things are/were when you take the exchange rate into consideration. Quite a lot of places she went to also had sales on. She came back with t-shirts, jeans.....all sorts of stuff and still had £100 left when she came back
