We're waiting to see the law that prevents companies charging what they want. Until you can provide anything other than belligerence to back up your argument you are looking stupider by the post.

I'll tell you what dfh2012, tomorrow, when you go to work (or wherever you spend your days) ask the question "can retailers sell products at whatever price they want" and see what response you get.

I have a feeling it is a small room with rubber walls and a lovely white jacket that does up at the back.

All your examples are nothing more than anecdotal. 100 years ago it would be completely unfathomable that anyone would charge £1 for a loaf of bread.

How about you provide something to support your assertions which is said by someone with an IQ higher than that of a melon. A law or anything which backs up your silly assertions.

oh this is comedy gold!
have I accidentally come to moneysavingexpert.kp?

And DFS - ever heard of inflation? Over time, the prices DO go up. Usually very gradually, but often noticeably - this (in part) contributes to inflation.

Do a bit of research on the Zimbabwe Hyperinflation Crisis. This is what happens - a bottle of bear ends up going from a few dollars to literally MILLIONS of dollars - and onto Billions in a matter of weeks.

Ok, so I've over simplified it a lot, and it's a different country - and an extreme example, but this shows that companies CAN charge as they please.

An example you could probably better relate to might be petrol - not the best, as there are other factors at play, but an easy one. If 20 years ago you told people petrol would cost £1.30/l they would have laughed at you. Heck, when it broke the £1 barrier, most petrols stations' systems couldn't handle any price above 99.9p!

Not sure why I bother though - you're not going to pay the slightest bit of attention.

Had a good laugh though reading through it all

I think Dfh actually went out 4 hours ago, leaving his computer on an automatic "copy & paste" program that will post the same sentence with slight changes every 2 minutes until the end of time (or everyone else's mental breakdown, whichever comes first).

They do not and it proves my point that companies cannot charge whatever they want willy nilly.

The law that applies is the law of market forces. This is the law that restricts a retailer from charging whatever they want.

I'm sure you're well aware of it. :cool:

I wouldn't assume, frankly.
