The $2 shop down the road,
The one that sells everything (from lipstick to kids toys to kitchen utensils) for $2, has renamed itself the $2+gst store..... (yes, I am in nasty dollar land, so it would probably be the 54p+vat store for you guys, thanks to the nasty exchange rates!)

And two people from my nice wee country are coming to visit you all soon, so they are going to be stung very harshly thanks to the international dollar being so shit.

Curse you, nasty bank men!

You are extremely mistaken
It is the pound that has gone to shit. 4 months ago, a pound would get you two dollars, now around 1.4. A good time to be heading east across the atlantic.

Indeed
As Richy said, 4 months ago, you would have barely got 50 pence to your dollar, whereas now, you're looking at about 70 pence. That's an extra £20 for every $100!
