compared to last year in london, definitely getting slaughtered by exchange rate... should have exchanged all my krill for pounds, would have been much happier this year... Yeah the new parking meters by our lunch place are going to take debit and credit cards too! It is a good thing I take a handicapped guy with me when I go, if you have a tag it means you don't have to pay the meter! I remember back in the mid 70's when it took 2 1/2 dollars to get 1 pound in Scotland, I guess the exchange rate is cyclical. |
