Yeah, my family are bugging me to come and stay for a week or two just so they can go on a crazy shopping spree.

I'm going the other direction next month; wife and kids going to London for a week. Ouch.

I am good. Have 1800.00 pounds in my account in the Uk. Purchased at 1.65 USD.
Cheers, David.

Me too, I have money transferred over here each month. I like the current exchange rate.

Whenever I feel under-paid I just think how much it is in Dollars... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

...then I think about my bills and how much bigger they are too.... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

I believe that the cost of living is about equal. Except for the price of petrol!
Cheers, David.

A guy I worked with used to say
"Jack there are 5 things you want in life:
1. An american salary
2. An english manor
3. A german car (I didn't agree with this one)
4. A japanese wife
5. A chinese chef"

He was a smart guy.
