Pound against the Dollor

[lasto]

Anyone else feeling the effects of the pound against the dollor.
I pay my board hosting in $ and noticed that when paying it,it was a lot more this month because the $ is catching upto the pound.
Not long ago i was getting 2$ to the pound,now im getting $1.38 which means if im paying in pounds its costing me more.

I brought a skin tonight which was $35 now before that would of cost me about 18 pounds - but today in UK pounds it cost me nearly 26 pounds.

Hi Lasto,

Its bad real bad, take a look at these....

An 8GB Ipod Nano priced $149, set a British shopper back ?76.18 one year ago, but now costs them ?108.22.

A pair of men?s Abercrombie & Fitch jeans priced $79.50, set a British shopper back ?40.65 one year ago, but now costs them ?57.74.

A double room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York priced $259, set a British holidaymaker back ?132.43 one year ago, but now costs them ?188.12.

A one-day adult ski pass in Aspen priced $96, set a British holidaymaker back ?49.08 one year ago, but now costs them ?69.73.

A one-day admission ticket to Universal Studios Hollywood priced $67, set a British tourist back ?34.26 one year ago, but now costs them ?48.66.

Note: Calculated using exchange rates for 21/01/08: ?1 = $1.9558; 21/01/09: ?1 = $1.3768

Try paying the $35 for the skin or the $149 for the ipod instead of like half hahah You're still paying less then us...

Well I work in dollars so after maybe 5 hours work I could have gotten $150-$200.

That used to be £75-£100 but it is now £115-£153 - so its not all bad for everyone.

Its great for us as adsense is paid in dollars, and now we are getting many more pounds for those dollars.
