[UA] Yo, Brits!

[THOMAS MCGRENERY]

<<Any of y'all British people want to tell me about Guernsey?  What's it
like? >>

Well, it's not where Bergerac was set, so it loses points in my book.

<< And what's the pounds to dollars exchange rate like these days?>>

trustnet.com quotes it as $1.46 US to the pound.
I'm guessing there's quite a few Euros down there now, too. The Euro is currently worth 90 cents (.9008 of a dollar, to be horribly precise).

<<(If you're wondering, it's for something I'm writing -- a group of Mak
Attaxers tries to buy a haunted house that's located there.  I'm wondering
if this would be like American burger flippers trying to buy a house on
Martha's Vinyard...  The houses listed on the web look pretty expensive.)

Guernsey's pretty damn expensive, from what I've heard. Now, Alderney - there's a Channel Island to crown Channel Islands. Imagine the fun - the Mak Attaxers have to set up a McDonald's on Alderney for thei own magical purposes. They then have to stop anyone higher up in the Maccy D's chain of command from discovering that Alderney has a population of 2147 people. They are also brought into direct competition with that nice chip shop next to the harbour shower block.
