Thanks ED,
Interesting figures. Comparing the oranges you've got £8300/mth versus $11000/mth. At the moment the £ is very weak against the $ and the FLL guys would be on a shade under £9000. With the huge % the UK tax man takes, compared to the US + the lower cost of US living it makes the FLL a lot more attractive than LGW (plus it's a lot more sunny and the fishing is better). Maybe some tea needs to be thrown into the River Thames
You can bet your bottom $ that the next cry will refer to the historical exchange rates....when the contracts will probably even out with the tax and cost of living taken into account i.e. how many beers can I buy in Tesco v Pubics (or however it's spelt)
