Few years ago we were getting 0.66EUR to the pound. That made a 3000EUR JetCat £1980

Last year we sunk to 0.96EUR to the pound. That made the same turbine £2880!!!! That's £1000 pound more through NOTHING other than FX fluctuation - no retailer trying to profit etc

Now, we're at about 0.84EUR so the turbine is around £2520 so still £540 more!!!

Same applies across the board really. Now introduce higher shipping/transport costs due to diesel/oil increases, another 2.5% due to VAT increase and our hobby very quickly got a lot more expensive - it sucks [:@]
