Though Amazon and others do $1 => £1 on electronics when they can get away with it.
Yes. I did that to see if anyone was paying attention. hahahah

Actually, almost as soon as I saw your post, I realized my error. I'm mathematically challenged, so the way that I look at it is that the GB pound is not worth as much as an USD, so there would have to be more of them to equal the USD. The Canadian dollar is worth more than the USD, so it takes less of them to equal the USD.

Genuine thanks for the correction. Thanks also for keeping us apprised of the Charles River Editors freebies.
