dunno about pounds, but..

What cost $500 in 1800 would cost $5079.03 in 2002.

Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2002 and 1800,
they would cost you $500 and $49.22 respectively.

well i knew the conversion rate, it just doesnt really hit you when you dont have to convert it every time
