As a Brit, I have no knowledge about the value of dollars. |

If US products are expensive, dollars are expensive, so it's a good time for us Yanks to cross the pond and spend like drunken sailors. If I can swing it, I'd like to go through Nottingham again & then through North Yorkshire and Durham. Hope to meet you if I can, ML. |

Yep, the pound is down. Good for those of us on this side of the pond who buy stuff from the UK, though. |

Who here wants to buy things with my money? Then you can buy me that Blu-ray player that YOU always wanted me to get. |

What about customs and VAT? I'll be glad to do it but you'd better find out what the law is. |

But, I don't actually want the Blu-ray player. I'm just trying to let posters here know that if you want me to have one, then you actually have to make the move for me. What you see as a quality product I see as a waste of money. I'm attacking no one's choices in buying Blu-ray, I'm just attacking the (forced) recommendation in why YOU want me to have one. I'm missing out on the whole hi-def experience? Yes, I am. However, thats my problem. |

I don't see how force came into this. I'm free to talk about my enthusiasms and you're free to ignore me. There's nothing personal in any of it. |

Absolutely - but people have taken the funnies because I've not joined their 'circle'. The vast majority of them are American and have the whole Keeping Up with the Jones' thing eating their brains away. |

Generalizations about a country as big and diverse as the States are a little difficult to swallow. Massachusetts and Arizona are so different they could be on two separate planets. |

As a Brit - the real issue is money. You've seen the news, I don't need to explain how bad things are here. |

But California and Alabama are pretty much the same!

Yep, and so are Oregon and Kansas. The way I see it, there are the states that grow good wine grapes, also known as blue states, states that grow lousy wine grapes, known as swing states, and the rest, the red 'uns. Of course this doesn't account for the New England states, which don't produce wine or predictable politics. California and Alabama are alike in one way -- they've both done a wretched job on education for some time. |
