>I don't think you can conclude that the whole country is rip-off. Hmm, not sure when you were last in Britain Steve, but as a Kiwi living in Britain for nearly 5 years now, I can assure you the "rip off Britain" is true of all too many things. I cited the example of cars a few posts back. I suspect I could buy an MGF cheaper in NZ than I could in Britain. The new Mini price in NZ is commensurate with the street price in Britain, despite shipping it half way round the world. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
