Good for you...

Post by jtbo » 26 Jun 2009 10:02 am

Recent report says that our consumer prices are 46% higher than those what you have in UK, so we pay bit higher prices from everything.

Bread is bit over 2 euros here, while common income is between 1500-1800 euros minus taxes of course which are 1/5th from income.

They don't accept spiders as payment, also I'm too ugly to offer other services female clerks so I doubt that I have any hope with alternative methods.

Most expensive euro country 2002&2003 was Finland, same result in this recent report which just was released and shows data from 4/2009.

VAT is 22% here, higher than Ireland which shares numer 1 position :D

So, if you pay 500 from Volvo 360 we pay almost 1000, ridiculous, imo in global economy and Sovi... ehm European Union which both coutrys are lured :lol:

You did install steering wheel to wrong side of car, that is quite abvious when you try to sell it here as Finnish car, imported ones will get heavy extra tax, no matter that it is imported from EU country, free mobility of workforce and stuff in finnish free way :roll:
