daft/comedy marketing colours

You sensibly say "blue, purple, red, pink, green or orange, or grey with a choice or blue, red, pink or black trim".

Dell breathlessly says "Jet Black, Tangerine Orange, Midnight Blue, Plum Purple, Spring Green, and Ruby Red, and Graphite Grey with Black, Red, Blue, or Pink accents."

Another example of why free trade does not work. I have no problem with globalization or multi-national companies but it should be equivilant cost for products all around the world.

Just another example...

BTW it's "Boycott" not "Bouycot". I suggest you add a dictionary (or should that be dicksionary) to your browser, Jamie!

Oh noes! 2.8% UK price differential

Stop

If I was a grey-market importer I'd focus on stuff that is 2x the cost in the UK versus the USA, not stuff that is 2.8% more expensive. FWIW.

I once had a Chopper bike.

Quite frankly, if you buy Dell then you should get help. Far better brands out there than these R&D-free table leg stabilisers.

As a final price, maybe, but that upgrade is quite clearly priced at an unjustifiable markup.

where did you get the 2.8% from?

To increase £12 to £29 by adding 2.8% must mean you are using some very strange number system.

By my calculations, £29 is 2.4 TIMES(240%) the value of £12, an increase of (I think) 141%.

Paris, because, well, who'se calculator were you using anyway?
