The US dollar is worth what? $1.44 to £1.00 (as of April 1, 2009) What a bargain! Last month, we saw the exchange rate reach an incredible $1.38 to the pound and we haven’t seen numbers like that since the fall of 1985! What does this all mean? Now is definitely the time to visit Britain.
A Prison for a Pound
Malmaison Oxford, a converted prison, is offering a night’s stay for just £1. Travelers that spend at least £75 on dinner at the hotel’s restaurant on a Sunday evening will get a night for a pound. The room must be taken on the same day as the evening meal and is only available on Sundays. The offer is valid now until April 30.
