The Pound Sterling, hereafter referred
to as the “limeybuck” is
worth twice as much as the US Dollar. That means that
when you fork over your $100, you get 50 limeybucks back.
But it doesn’t end there, oh no. Prices in London are
the same in London as they are in the USA. That is: the price
in limeybucks is the same as it would be in dollars. So if
it costs 4 bucks here, it costs 4 limeybucks there.
Now let’s
do some 2nd grade math… 2 x $4 = $8.
Hmmm, your
money goes exactly half as far in London. 200 years after the Tea
Tax, they are still screwing us. |
