Price of Brexit

It's clear that you're not even up to muppet standard.

Sure about that?

...Their inability to manage currency fluctuations isn't our problem.

The fact that the price has gone up because of their inability to manage currency fluctations a massive drop in the value of sterling most definitely is a problem for iThing fanboyz - in the same way that it's a problem for UK residents that oil has increased in price due to the weak pound compounding a rise in the $ price.

I wonder if I should abuse mod powers and make that his avatar?

They are managing currency fluctuations and it is your problem.

You can almost spot the moment a thread goes down the tulip hole.

Usually it's when you pop up with your inanities.

Let me clarify for you as you seem to have misunderstood.

It's clear that you're not even up to muppet standard.
25% of 79p is 19.75p
79 + 19.75 = 98.75p

I sometimes feel sorry for GB9. But even more for his teachers at school.

Their pricing is based entirely on what they can get away with charging to ensure optimum revenue. Too low charging and profits aren't maximised, too high and less buyers reduces the profit. The use of any opportunity to justify increased pricing to 'optimise' revenue will be taken.

Why should Apple charge less in UK than they charge in France or Germany or USA, other than the difference in VAT?

Just wait until all other imports go up, especially cars - BMW, Audi, Mercs, those guys usually hedge pretty long, but hedges are not forever, a normal £40k will become £50k. That would hit local produced cars also because they also import things like steel, or parts from Bosch.

Brexiters fooked this country over - with the help of Tory Scum party.

Because otherwise it's not fair.

Firstly, it's not 25% as even a muppet like you should be able to calculate.

Secondly, how come none of the others have done the same.

Firstly it's 25%.

Secondly others will do the same once their currency hedges expire OR enough big players like Apple do it, then everybody else will follow.

It's only January but I reckon we've got our Cretin of the Year 2017.
