And forced us to nationalise the debts of many our banks as well. Us pesky foreigners have certainly not done well out of the global finacial crisis, bail out or not.
And yet recently the dollar has gone from lower than I can remember (edit, lower than it's ever been during my lifetime) against the pound to higher than we've seen for ages. Which is an enormous ball-ache for me, because I've been used to buying stuff off the internet at an exchange rate of 2 dollars to the pound and now stuff seems to cost me a fortune instead of being cheap as chips.
