August 2008, last time I went, 1 pound bought 210 yen. Dec 2010, 1 pound bought 130 yen. I'm calling a major win. I could even afford to buy ciggies in England!Damn - isn't that like USD100??
Expect to pay between 3 pounds and 3.50 in the pub for a pint. Liquor shops are still good value. English ale for the win bitch!
