Pound/Dollar Exchange Rate - Buy British!
« on: July 15, 2016, 05:51:25 PM »
Hi, now that we've all dusted ourselves down here in the UK after the Brexit debacle it's back to business (but not as usual) and events have had a dramatic effect on sales and spending conversions for my small business and many others.

Keeping a regular check on currency rates and judging when to spend money with sculptors and casters is now going to be a daily routine for me until some semblance of order returns...

In the meantime this is a reminder to all that now is a very good time to be "buying British" products - the dollar is very strong against the pound at the moment!

best wishes, Richard (a European - always)

Yes indeed, good time to buy British, especially small outfits who need support from our little modelling WWI niche. Order sent
Hang in there Richard!

I had to place an order anyway (I run out of linen).

    Once I clear up a back log of "domestic priorities" and do a quick inventory I'll be helping you get through these difficult times, Richard! :)
    Hang in there!

Yeah, that's why I jumped at getting some more decals and another truck. Wish our dollar was better though.
Hope these troubling times don't cause you too much grief.

I hope all these does not delay further the release of your so much awaited Balilla kits...
