Hahahahahahaha! THAT is funny.In the sixties and (edit: "early") seventies, the dollar was strong. The first time I needed to be aware was in 1973, when the dollar would get you 3.8 Swiss francs (abbreviated as SFr or CHF). On the upside, now you don't have to do any mental math to figure out prices - it's 1 to 1. And in the mid-80s, you could get about 6 French francs for a dollar. Now, there isn't a French franc, or a German mark, or an Italian lira, but you can buy a euro for about a dollar.
Strong dollar my ass!
Talk about Brits having to stay home, ha! Used to be, many Americans could afford to go to Europe and buy stuff for "cheap". These days, going to Europe is expensive, 'cause the U.S. dollar ain't worth crap.

...going to Europe, especially England, is cheaper now than it is likely to ever be again because of the exchange rate.
That never were, the value of the dollar's going to go up. If uk record sellers knew how to grade, I'd totally take advantage of the weak pound. ; )
