    I was (am) in my student house, uni doesn't start for another few weeks but I'm volunteering in the city where my uni is this weekend so I'm staying in my student house. Nobody else is back yet and I am going back home on Monday before coming back properly. We had this house last academic year and we've decided to stay in it this year, the contract is continuous so we've left some of our stuff like bedding, cooking utensils (cutlery, pans, plates, glasses ect. but not food) and other stuff I didn't think I'd need at home. I forgot that I'd brought all my towels home (even my hand towel) and so did everyone else (or locked it in their rooms) so I didn't take one back with me on the train. The only quilt I had, I used to sleep under about 2 hours later. I'm fully aware how useful they were, I just didn't think I was hitch-hiking, just going to a different house.

    Same concept though, right? Unless the pound shop has items for more than 1£. Hmmmmm... And laziness is no excuse for freezing to death.

    Yes, same concept and I always find it hilarious when people don't know how to use the pound sign. It comes before the number, so it should be £1 not 1£. I know that, but I've already done it and I'll be going home tomorrow morning so I can wait until tomorrow for my next shower so I don't need one any more.

    Yes. Exactly like the dollar sign. I had already typed the 1 though and didn't want to back space. So the £ went after.

    £1 = $1.63 or $1 = 61p according to google.

    That's why it's really annoying when places use them like they're worth the same for example when I had a flight, it cost £10/$10 to book seats, basically meaning it was more expensive for British people. (£10=$16.16)

    It's the opposite in Canada. $10 dollars here is $9.20 American. And yet books are still way more expensive.

    Well BIU, different countries have different currencies. And these currencies don't have the same values.

    I'm not sure, but that's not an issue.

    Is it already started in the UK?
