  • Sales tax is the most obvious example of adding to the cost I’ve been shown, but it’s everything. Here if there is a price on something that is the price you pay. Period.
    If I have €5 and the price on the shelf is €4.90 we are all good, and I don’t even need to know what country I’m in!

    But is is more than that, if I take my car in to be fixed, they have to agree every cost they want to charge me in advance at no point can anything cost me more than I expected and agreed to up front.
    Airline tickets, theatre tickets, hospital bills, TV ads, you name it, the price they state or advertise is what I pay, no ifs-no buts.



  • I’d like to see it. VBA is actually brilliant, you can make very very portable applications with intuitive user input and output interfaces (i.e. a cell range in Excel, and and version of tables and graphs you like as outputs)… But realistically who wants to use BASIC these days?
    I usually say it in jest, but I’m not sure there is actually a better RAD (rapid application development) platform out there than Excel (with a bit of VBA as needed).
