Crikys mate! Start buying dollars (the exchange rate is exceptionally good at the mo, around 53P to the dollar)


Woow!
Were are you getting your excahnge rates??
A few weeks ago it went to $1.80 (odd) to the £
Now it seems to be back around the $1.72 (odd) to the £ - the rate it's been for a while.

I'm sure I could find a queue of people who let me store it in their garage - wouldn't I ... ?
I'd obviously have to leave the keys too
