You wouldn't have data to underpin that opinion? Tell you what, there is a someone here, who enjoys going through the threads, post by post counting perceived insults. I know, that that might appear sad to a normal person, but shall we get him to count all perceived insults and come up with civility coefficient?
OK, I am happy if someone does a count up. If someone cannot be arsed to do that, then I am I am equally happy for both of us to be judged by our peers on here on a purely subjective basis.
Do we need to set up a poll or something? New thread?

And it would be certainly a lot less entertaining than reading about someone going through posts counting insults. You can't put a price on good entertainment like that.

In your opinions, does unilaterally reducing tariffs have an impact on FX?
I suppose increase in trade may effect the volumes and relationships between different currencies but I don't think there is any magic formula which says "do this with tariffs and a currency will do this....." no.FX prices are effected by interest rates more than anything combined with economic performance, politics, trade balances and the size of the moon. No one has really worked it out which is why there is an industry of thousands of people basically taking gambles on them.
What will the £/$ rate be in 10 years time? I have absolutely no idea. Nor has anyone else.

Import duty is paid to EU minus 25% (IIRC) to cover administrative costs. Actual administrative costs are less than 3% again this is from memory and I'll try to get the source confirmed.
It's 20% I think.bdo said:
Currently, all customs duty collected at import into the UK is remitted to the EU. However, 25% of all duties collected is repaid to the UK for its management and administration of the tax.
Regardless, the actual cost of administering those is minuscule, and it's only going to go one way. jjlynn27 said:

It's 20% I think.Maybe there is some sort of grossing up issue going on to explain the differing figures.

I wasn't asking about magic formula, I was more interested in your opinion if unilaterally dropping tariffs would have an effect on RER.FX prices are effected by interest rates more than anything combined with economic performance, politics, trade balances and the size of the moon.

Interesting, thanks for that. I'd go with figures provided by EU. Maybe there is some sort of grossing up issue going on to explain the differing figures.

To start, and given it's you, we'll do baby steps; that your reply was completely irrelevant given that you assumed, wrongly, what my reply was in relation to.
Once you are able to process this, let me know, so we can continue.
I ran this through the jj translator... it came up with Once you are able to process this, let me know, so we can continue.

To start with I'd like to condescend you, then misdirect you away from the fact I was caught talking nonsense. Instead I'll claim I was talking about something else completely. This will come as a surprise to most of the other people involved in the conversation, but that's because I think they're liars and morons
See - I don't have to count anything to judge you

I don't particularly care about being judged by a proven liar. Given that you are judging by your own standards, I can understand why you'd think that people would lie on a car forum. You struggled with something that you didn't understand, so I helped. Just as I helped you with the poster that you claimed that you've never seen before. jsf said:

Yours? Not so much.
No offence.
