nycmermaidBritish Pound Breaks Through $2
Terrific. Although their examples of a Big Mac costing $4 and a beer more than $5 are not the best examples. Most Americans would look at that and think that's not so bad, except that a tube ride from Covent Garden to Liverpool Street (within central London) now costs $8 one-way ($3 if you have an oyster card). :b When I was studying abroad in London in 1999, the pound was worth about $1.66.
