Indeed… I get pissed having to pay £40 for ‘clearance’ from an EU country… I got tucked-up by the post office once too – ‘you’ll need an agent to clear this for you’… why? :?

Because it's keeping the extended family in work :shock:
I'm fed up of hearing the words "you will need" followed by "I know just the man ~ my cousin will sort you out"

Prices are more or less the same but some things like car parking and DVD rentals where rounded up.

A local sandwich van in our area had put the price of Coke up from 50cents to 60 last November and all customers complained about the rise so he droped it back to 50. Come January he made it 1 euro (58cents) and nobody seems to complain. :)
