We've all been there...you're over in the UK at Top shop, or Debenhams, Marks and Spencer or...OK lets be honest, 'Primark' as they so wrongfully call it, and what are you forced to do? Calculate. 'So if this is £8 how many €'s is this setting me back?'
It's just plain wrong!
Well! Rejoice my friends, as the days of forced financial equations are numbered!
Because, at the time of writing one Euro is to the value of 92-Pence, the highest the Euro has been against the Pound-Sterling since March 2009.

Did someone say Oxford Street? Actually, lets not get too carried away now... Happy Shopping!
