When I checked xe.com yesterday £ ~ €1.14 / $1.48. Right now it's still €1.13 / $1.49.

Doesn't seem to be much of a change from last week.

There are lots of ads in the Dutch papers today for cheap weekend shopping deals in London, Birmingham, Manchester etc. The average Dutch family can now save so much on their prezzies in the UK to easily cover the flights and a hotel room.

Equality at last

The pound is on the verge of parity with the euro as concerns grow over the state of the British economy.

With sterling slumping yesterday to its lowest level yet, £1 was buying just €1.03 at a bureau de change near the Eurostar terminus in London –

I think the Brown plan is to bust UK economy. Then join Euro as a net benefactor like Ireland or Spain!
Missed the boat though. Euro won't take the UK now. But the tourism industry should do OK, and foreign remittances, you know like Puerto Rica or Haiti. Little island off the mainland.
