The current exchange rate for the Federal Reserve as of noon yesterday was I Lb. Sterling = $1.579 US so if you say about 2.6x the Lb. Sterling you will get the close US equivalent...I think that the VAT .(Value Added Tax ie Sales tax rate) is roughly 10%-15% on top of that. You can get the latest exchange rates at X-rates.com The best way to buy overseas is with a credit card because you will get the best rates available since they do it at the cheaper interbank rates. My son did that the other year when he was in Europe..it can make a significant difference in the rates you get. HTH Mike K
