[quote name="mark"][quote name="Clatorps"][quote name="laudablepuss"]Everything in England was insanely expensive. Take all the regular prices here in the States and just change the dollar sign to pound sign to get an estimate of how much things cost over there.[/quote] So the Dollar to Pound Conversion is 1:1 now? Hmmmm. Why would anyone think you're stupid?[/quote] <b><font color=lime>mark:</font></b> this is a stupid post <b><font color=lime>mark:</font></b> why is it that the even bigger dummies are always hounding the lesser dummy laudable <b><font color=CornflowerBlue>Ray!:</font></b> yeah, laudable is kind of hapless, but benign <b><font color=CornflowerBlue>Ray!:</font></b> I don't really follow lurker's thinking. If laudable thought the exchange rate was 1:1, then things wouldn't be insanely expensive <b><font color=lime>mark:</font></b> yeah, that's why he is completely wrong <b><font color=lime>mark:</font></b> he mistakes exchange rate for cost of living, which is mind blowing <b><font color=lime>mark:</font></b> I used to live next door to a bunch of irish guys who would work for a little while in england then come to canada to live off the proceeds and smoke huge amounts of dope. Their money was worth so much and everything was so cheap compared to back home that it was like waking up under a yellow sun. <b><font color=CornflowerBlue>Ray!:</font></b> haha <b><font color=CornflowerBlue>Ray!:</font></b> I have a couple of ex-expat friends who've done the same thing. Gone over for a few years, lived like refugees and banked a big score <b><font color=CornflowerBlue>Ray!:</font></b> Their friends come to visit and marvel at how an ordinary couple could live in a 3-bedroom house[/quote]
