Why thank you, Avalon.
It's an essential part of my daily thought processing.

On our recent trip to the US, we found that we were paying over NZ$8 for a latte. And the exchange rate was in our favour. We had to stop that sort of thought processing before it ruined our holiday.

I had to read this post twice before I realised what you were doing. Nice thought - I can't imagine the cost of a latte in the UK now.

Thanks for the Comment, DE.
I'll have a look at my explanation, I'm certainly prone to confusing writing on occasion ;-)
