Well it's the same every day: £1.20 for a cup of coffee, is that OK or am I being ripped off? Let's see, that's roughly 80 francs, so no, that's pretty much the going rate in a café...
A pair of shoes, £50: Hmmm, that's 3000 francs, not cheap, but still OK if I really like them... Do you see what I'm getting at? it's that instant gut-reaction that I still need to develop... Or at least that's what my analyst tells me! | I totally understand you Zo. It's the same as when you go on holiday, and bag a bargain that wasn't a bargain when you work out the true cost!
What do you need an analyst for? Or is that a joke.............
