1999. When I first came to Japan - 165 yen to the pound.
2004. My daughter was born - 252 yen to the pound (parents visited and were spending like Las Vegas high rollers!!)
2011. Global financial shit-storm - 126 yen to the pound. It is GREAT for me to buy stuff from the UK now

And Mosburger is fantastic. Shame the burgers are so bloody small
