My point, Mr. Grumpy, is that a) I am poor, and b) there is a point to comparing US prices in the sense of cost of living, taking things like income and tax into consideration. Sadly, I still end up on the shallow end of the pool. You may remedy this with presents.ÃÂ :xm3:

Well, we've got EUR1.1 to the pound. However it costs 180% of wages for an employer to employ someone in the Eurozone, compared with about 135% here in the UK. Although there is some argument that people get paid slightly more for the same job in Britain - let's say 5%.
You do the math! ( no seriously - you do it cos i can't be bothered).

yes but Cm does not employ anyone on the mainland, and in this case, they dont even have to ship anything abroad as it is a DIGITAL download directly from their servers.
