Latest grievance:
American Weigh Gemini Scales
$19.99 in U.S.A  or £66.56... in the U.K

i mean really?? that's more than 400% as expensive :thumbdown:
So the search for reasonably priced milligram scales is still on.
---

This happens time and again, a product will be 200% and over the going rate in America.. I mean taxes are one thing, shipping another - these price hikes make things unattainable, 
Long time i moved.




Maybe if you bought a British Weigh Gemini Scales you'd get it at a better price.

In Australia, if you agree to shoot wild camels, you'll get free bullets and a helicoptor ride across the desert to down packs of the lumpy wanderers.

In Australia, it's rude not to call people you just met cunt.

In Australia, it's rude not to marginal anyone who is a different shade of human than yourself.

Even spiders are afraid of spiders, in Australia.

So Australians drive about in a poorly maintained cars due to not having some form of yearly roadworthy tests, MOT's as we call them.
What happens if the brakes fail due to this lack of maintenance and causes an accident in which people are injured and unable to work for D/W/M/Years? Who pays them compensation if not you if you have no insurence cover?

Apart from this lack of having to pay for MOT's and insurance which I don't believe for a minute what, exactly, is this "more freedom" that Australians enjoy, that we don't have over here?
