If it was the other way around, I doubt so many brits would even bother coming to this python and alligator infested swap. And for the record, I've seen what the skinny brits who crash every Disney press party on Earth wear to these soirees so no, it isn't any prettier.

It hasn't been as high as £2:$1 for a generation and has been lower than £1.30:$1 and still people flock there. I'm sure you don't complain about zero state income tax due to the success of Florida's marketing campaign as a tourist destination.
