However... if you are visiting the U.S. or Great Britain, you'll be more interested in how much your money will actually buy.
I lived in England for 9 years and found that high end luxury goods (like Patek Philippe watches or Chanel clothing) was less expensive in England but most everyday items was less expensive in the States. As a rough but usually accurate guide, t a dollar in the U.S. will buy what a pound in England buys.
So, if you're going to convert your pound sterling into dollars and spend them in the States, you can figure you'll be able to buy the equivalent of what 100 pounds would have bought you in England.
