Thats good news int it coz now the Yanks will start to come back over here with their tourist $$$ and the rest of the world will buy British again now that they can get more ££ with their money  Undecided
Now all we need to do is learn to keep our ££ in our pockets for a bit longer and we'll been fine  Roll Eyes
