Very close to fraud

I wanted to update my live service subscription but what a surprise. Euro 49.95 is according to TT £47.50.

 

The last time the Euro was anywhere near that level was September 2011!

 

Closer to reality would be £39.50

Don't use actual conversion. Unfortunately the prices are not adjusted on a daily basis, and in the UK we have different taxes as well (higher VAT, etc).

 

Edit: Ryanair is the  worst offender I think. Their exchange rate is £1 = €1 onboard, and prices are displayed in Euro.

I don't expect an adjustment on a daily basis. But 7 months out of date is quite cheeky.

Can't help it but Forex is what I do so I see it if the numbers are off, even if I don't want to :smileyhappy:
