Of course it will be. The rules don't kick in until October and then only for people who have to renew. However, the longer it goes on after October the bigger the drop. More or less nobody will drive to queue for hours in London and then pay, no matter what the exchange rate. However as they are planning to change UK pasports to comply (those sheep sounds from No10 continue to get louder) some time in 2005 it will only affect a smallish % of people. Even so, just a 10% drop in brit tourists will start to piss Florida off.
