    3 times less than

    Bloody infuriating news.

    "Cost of texts in europe at 10p is 3 times less than it was at 30p".

    Obviously I know what they are trying to say, but it is not times less than. That would be -60p. It's 1/3rd as much. Or is it just me...

        Thank goodness for that. Hearing it has much the same impact as hearing Brown pontificate. It's getting far too expensive to keep replacing the telly. Better take some calm pills.
