British pound hits 26-year high vs. U.S. dollar

Can we fix this by October? ::cries::

I had NPR on as I was driving home today, and a reporter with a lovely British accent was talking about how the pound is at an all time high compared to the dollar.

But, he said, the British shouldn't be too happy about that because "their bottom line may be in for a caning". (Yes, he actually said that! Without laughing!) It seems the British equivalent of our Federal Reserve thinks their economy is heating up too fast, and may raise their interest rates any day now, which is likely to make the pound's value in comparison to the dollar drop.

So maybe it won't be so bad come October. :)

(I tried to find a clip of the story on NPR, but no luck.)
