    Ipods, any thing electrical, when i was out there the cheapest thing that jumped out at me where electric shavers, compared to UK prices they are so cheap.

    but allmost anything is cheaper as the dollar is nearly 2 to the pound

    I am off to Las Vegas in August and wondering does anyone know how much in value of goods you are allowed to bring back before attracting customs duty?

    Looked last night and the dollars are around 1.86 to the £1, I may start getting some currencyfor my holiday while the rate is good even though i'm not going until August at least I will get more for my money
