1 Euro is about $1.10 now

And why do I have a dollar sign instead of an Euro on my keyboard!

so .. what good is it if the cost of living is higher?

In the early 70's the british pound was about a $1.50

still the majority of brits in the newcastle/tynemouth did not own a car and had the impression the average yank was a millionaire

It's $1.56 today and was in the $1.60s a few weeks ago.

And I call BS on the idea that a 'majority' of Brits in the Tyne area did not own a car. You must have lived in the poorest of areas.

It was €1.42 to the £ not so long ago.

Wish it was 1:1, man I'd be rich.....

71 - 72 way before you were hatched - the majority of brits in and around us in tynemouth rode the bus

poor section? the entire place was a postage stamp and yes they were all going through hard times. they had just switched over the currency from the pence to what you use today.
