Hey Colin. I checked on it for you. As of now, $1100 USD equals about 586 GBP. The converter I found was www.xe.com/ucc/ |
... but then he has to add VAT at 17.5 % and a few percent for import duty and some more for international P&P (which may be more than usual on an item of this length and may itself attract further tax or duty) and bear in mind that his credit card may not be quite so generous on the exchange rate as the headline figures suggest and so on and so on ............. . I usually just take the dollar figure as the GBP figure and hope for a pleasant surprise. However, I think he was asking about texts regarding the sword use. |
 I think I might be having to sell my car then... (I had used the currency converter after I made the post, I was just trying to work it out in my head, I've got a maths skills test coming up for teacher training so I'm trying to keep myself on top of my game maths wise)
But yeah Geoff you're right, I was asking about the texts. The image of someone jousting at full tilt with a sword similar to that one is an interesting one.
Thank you in anycase Ed!
And Nathan, cheers for the other converter, haven't seen that one before.
