A question for all the Americans amongst you...Why do you add the tax onto prices after you purchase them? We have 17.5% tax added into the price of goods in Britain and so when it says on the label, 30 pounds (damn American keyboard doesn't have a pound sign on it!) then it means 30 pounds.
Here in America, if the tag says $20 then that means you pay something stupid, like $21.32 (whatever) and you get bucket loads of coins as change.
The American economy could benefit from having tax worked into the prices so that if you buy something from a dollar shop it actually costs a dollar! and you don't have to make so many quarters and dimes to give people in change.
Anywho.. Merry Christmas y'all and I'll see you on the other side of a huge turkey dinner. We bought our own crackers (not familiar with crackers? I'll tell ya later) They don't sell crackers in Texas so we risked smuggling explosives(!) onto the plane.
