Hope this doesn't come across as pedantic...
The value of the dollar against sterling, while of course fluctuating has remained more or less static for a long time. Both the dollar and sterling have been devalued, which is why there has been no overall change.
However sterling and the dollar have dropped significantly against the Euro.
It means that for UK residents buying from the US has been "cheap" for a while, but buying from the EU has become more expensive.
For US residents it means buying from the UK is expensive and has been for a while, but buying from the EU is becoming more expensive.
And for Eurozone residents it means buying from both the UK and the US has become cheaper.
