It is wild isn't it - I know it was a blip but when I went to Auz 25 years ago it was AU$2.50 to the pound, EU was 1.67 to the pound when I went on holidays to Greece in my 20s and then when I first went to the states (2008) it was $2.05 to the £. In 2008 was chatting to a lady in LA who couldn't believe (at that exchange rate) that we paid $7 for a Starbucks - she assumed we were all loaded, and for that trip it certainly felt that way. But now when I go to the EU or US I feel broke - my money barely goes as far as it used to. I know that my salary has barely kept pace with inflation the last few years, but life in Britain (even with a good job) feels hobbled.
