Can $1 = Us $1

[darkorb]

this is pretty sweet. the dollars are teh same now, or almost

what i still find reall stupid, is stuff is so much cheaper in the states than here.

BMW 528i

USA = $44,000

Canada = $59,000

THATS REDICULOUS

apple products are a good 10% cheaper there

so i was DEF thinking of going down buying a mac, or a dell or somthing. so much cheaper! unbelievable

apparantly the borders are packed now cuz everybody is going to buffalo to get stuff, dam!

You moaning? $2 = £1 and a new 5 series cost like £50k

 

[Pat123]

Agrees with Ham.. Some things are the same in £ as they are in $ its stupid..

 

[glocktodahead]

Ye i'm pretty happy about this. I need to go to Port Huron to pick a few things up.

 

[llwyd]

yea the car pricing situation is a joke. How much would you have to pay for a DB9 or Noble in the US?

Fuel prices are a micky take as well, despite the fuel in the US packing less punch its still depressingly low

 

[Allsorts]

It's the tax and duty slapped on things that makes me .

 

[cuprasport]

25 grand for a new bm, shockcing and there petrol is practicly free aswell

 

[dave1920]

yeh but we get soo much value from our government and health services because we pay through the nose for everything (sarcastic tone)

Uk pisches me off when it comes to taxes. WE pay so much for "healthcare" etc. which sure, sometimes does thr job but most of the time you have to wait ages just to be told theres nothin they can do -.-

Grrrrr - at least steam lets us buy games for the same price as in $$$ with just a bit of tax added on

This thread was always doomed to brring us UKer's out in full force moaning. (i am too one of those).

 

[mrapoc]

Idea....

Lets all move to Aus and sleep in PV's garden (its big enough!)

You guys are forgetting cost of living. In Cali prices are alot higher then here, but also they dont pay taxes on certain things like the rest of the US and they (generaly speaking) get paid more too. BUT you dont see people just moving straight to Cali either.
