UK News & Weather
Whether you’re just visiting BC or have been here for years, it is always nice to keep up with news from the old country.
For a quick review of what's hitting the headlines in the UK you can browse our weekly review which picks out the highlights (and lowlights) of this weeks news-worthy topics. You'll be up to date with dinner table conversation in a matter of minutes!
Alternatively, take your pick from the selection of UK newspapers that we have linked on our UK News & Weather tab to the right. Personally we enjoy browsing the property sections to remind us of the small (but cute) homes we used to own in Blighty and the busy streets we shared with significantly more neighbours. The BBC is always a great source of news and weather – it can also keep you up to date with the latest TV and entertainment stories.
Find out what your dollars are worth in sterling or vice versa by clicking on our currency convertor. Currency exchange companies can usually provide better exchange rates than your bank. We have chosen to feature a conversion tool and link to Currency Online - personal experience of their service and rates has been good. However, these types of business are not regulated by FICOM so you should carry out your own research before making any decisions to transfer large sums of money.
And finally, for a bit of nostalgia have a flick through our UK picture gallery…
