don't worry
Britain is always very welcoming to its visitors from the third world :P
Actually, it is pretty painful for you right now. Be grateful it is not as bad as it was for the Russians in 1998
The day I arrived in Moscow 6rbl=$1
The day I left 64rbl=$1
When I got my credit card bill, Amex owed me £75!!!

What's funny is that while $2=£1, everything still costs the same in absolutes. A mediocre meal in any regular place will cost 50 (quid), a movie 8-14 (lbs) and a decent pair of shoes 145 (go on, round it off to $300 why don't you).
At least there's no need for a calculator :)

That's priceless!
"Peter Kiewit looked for three things in hiring people. He looked for integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if a person didn’t have the first…that the latter two would kill him. Because if they don’t have integrity, you want ‘em dumb and lazy. You don’t want ‘em smart and energetic.”
