British Pound vs US Dollar... (page 3)

Two views from the Guardian:

"British shoppers, never slow to grab a bargain, have begun descending on America, and New York in particular. Airlines and travel companies say that business has gone up by 30% in the past few months."

On the other hand

"Britons should not bank on getting the best bargains while visiting America, despite the weakness of the dollar against the pound, a survey out today showed.

Based on the total price of 10 essential items for tourists, the US was the most expensive of 15 countries surveyed by the Post Office.

Some items such as beer and suncream were four times more expensive in America than in other countries.

All told, the 10 items cost £69.41 in the US compared with £16.86 in Bulgaria which was the best-value country."
