I can remember a few years ago that the UK pound was almost at the level of being valued at $2. Two dollars to the pound. Amazing. I brought a lot of American stuff that year. Yesterday, I bought something and it was $1.30 to the pound. Shoot. The dinner for $100 that a few years ago would have cost me £50 was now £72. Ouch!  I’ve seen this a lot over the years in my travels. Australia used to be cheap. It’s now expensive. Europe used to be expensive and then became cheap, but it’s getting more expensive again since we voted to Brexit.
