Staying at home tonight......looking what was on tv, of course Haye v Valuev is an option, quite interested, never seen Valuev fighting live.
On Sky BO, cant remember the exact figures but its 14.75 or something like that in sterling (GBP); or 21 euro!!!! 15 GBP is more like 17 euro.
Now, I can easily afford it but, this is taking the p*ss its only over-charging by 4 euro but its still a 25% rip-off. Its irritating.
If I watch it all I'll do it on a stream though I generally dislike watching stuff on a computer screen - but I think I like many others in this country I need to stop just handing over cash without thinking about it. Hope I can back this up and don't give in later on - I hope I do.
Reminds me about what my dear ol' mam reckons; she spent many years in Scotland and said she never met a more generous race of people, would give each other their last penny to help out, but would not pay over odds for anything, hence the reputation. They are dead right. We tend not to complain because we are afraid we would be considered mean or have people think we didn't have it.....immature and self-conscious as a nation.
As i'm writing this, I've decided:
Option 1 - Pay in GBP by VISA, if allowed to do so, if not
Option 2 - Pay 17 euro or exact GBP equivalent
Option 3 - Watch a stream
That helped.
