Yeah, I know.

I wish the exchange rate wasn't so bad. Makes it very expensive to buy anything in the UK right now.

But what's the betting that US company products don't come down in price as a result......

On the other hand, it makes Christmas shopping in New York really cheap.....! (if you can get a cheap flight).

When the exchange rate is very low all the airlines impose fuel surcharges because of the extra cost for the fuel which is always priced in US$. So, what is the opposite of a surcharge and why doesn't it exist?

It does exist - it's called profiteering!
