if you&#39;re talking AUD then £2 for a dvd/r/w isn&#39;t bad... neither is 50p for a cdr... the highest normal people can get in the uk is about 2mb... but it might be a little cheaper

AUD is almost the equivalent of CAD... 1 AUD = 1.00267 CAD

&#036;7.50 for a Big Mac combo is blasphemy&#33;&#33; (even though I don&#39;t eat a Mickey D&#39;s)

It&#39;s &#036;3.99 for the combo here.

The dollar is stronger?

That&#39;s not it the US Dollar is at an all time low compared to european euro and the british pound...

Maybe it&#39;s time to make a virtual currency, the KLD (KL Dollar) that would take away a lot of currency differences... If yes who make a tabel with currency ratings. Something like 1KLD= &#036;1,5 or €1,3

I assumed the higher prices in GB were due to import costs..
What about the pricing of domestic items? Are they cheaper?
