Thank you, Andy. We really would like to visit England and the rest of Great Britain one of these days. The exchange rate now is certainly more favorable for me. I don't recall exactly what it was in 2001 when we were there, but probably a pound was about $1.50. You can see a graph of the exchange rate from 1945-2016:

The low point was in 1985, but it is getting close again.

Yes, a good time to visit the UK for those with US dollars, or with Euros. Not such a good time for those of us with GBP to be buying imported goods . I was checking out camera gear recently and models from 2015 have gone up in price rather than dropping. I'm glad I bought my A7 mk II last years as it would be more expensive now. Good for second hand prices I guess
