BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 When I was in Japan I thought it was a complete pain in the butt to have to remember that you had to add 5%. Included suits me. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Can you imagine it in the UK if we had to add 17.5% onto everything extra when out shopping! Link to post Share on other sites
