There are a couple of interesting articles in The Times today on the subject of the weakness of the US Dollar and its effects on Americans who are visiting the UK or are thinking of doing so. The first is by a student from Boston University who’s in London this autumn for work experience and who writes about coming to terms with British prices. He says the best advice he can give his friends coming over is ‘bring much more money than you ever think you will need.’
The second article looks at the effects on tour operators as numbers of American visitors drops due to the exchange rate and slowing of the US economy. The UK is characterised as the land of the $5 ice cream.
