I was in Scotland from May of '89 until February of '92.  The first time I
bought pounds (at Heathrow, the day I arrived there), the exchange rate was
US$1.55.  It was around US$1.80 when I left - and in between, it had peaked
at around US$2.10.

I'll agree, though, that most prices I saw marked (in pounds) were pretty
much what I would have expected to see (in dollars) - not just at grocers,
but at most stores.
