Who's purchasing stuff from the UK!?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The last order I made with CRC I was quoted and charged in $CDN, directly by CRC. CRC (and other sites) specifically advertise that they will charge you in the currency of your choice (as long as they support that currency). Other sites say they will estimate in your currency, but charge in Pounds.

Well, the price may not have dropped in either currency, but would you have paid less today had you paid in Pounds vs. Dollars?
