Yea but you'll only get like 88 for you dollar on conversion. You all ways lose 2 cents.
Still a very good rate.

Bugger, I just paid a fair bit on some parts from the US, they reckon our $ is better because a rise in interest is on the cards

Us too, was getting worried about the interest rate. Here's hoping it keeps going up and not down!

Sure beats 2000-2008 Lee! 2000 our $ was around US$0.52 and only around 0.38 GBP and 2006 wasn't much better by the time the exchange took place.
