NEWS: British Pound Sterling in Freefall
Hi all,
A bit of a diversion but its worth it. After all the months of ominous headlines regarding the world financial crisis, many of you have tuned it out. This last week however, many of those dire economic chickens have come home to roost in the United Kingdom, and the Pound Sterling has collapsed in recent days.
As of this morning (Jan 23-2009) the British Pound exchange rate versus the Dollar is 1.37 to 1.
As recently as last June, the rate was just over 2 to 1. This is the lowest the British Pound has been versus the Dollar since 1985. What this means for our US readers is the time to buy Forgeworld is NOW. Your purchase power for British goods has not been this great in over 20 years.
Here are a few example Forgeworld prices converted over to Dollars at today’s exchange rates to get your attention.
