Sign of the times

The economic situation is as woeful here as it is in the States. Banks are being nationalized, jobs are being lost and many homeowners are going under.
All this has added up to ironically good news for us. Every day, the dollar goes up in value.
A year ago when we were here, the exchange rate for $2.17 to the pound. When we arrived in August, it was about 2-to-1.
Today, a pound is worth $1.71. So, our money is going a little further. Thank goodness!
Here's a sign I spotted at a nearby pub called The Hat and Feathers.
