Soooooooo.......you just gonna leave out all context? Cool cool cool cool.

[-] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 61 points 4 months ago

Would you say its mildly infuriating? 😉

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 20 points 4 months ago

Fukkin gottem

[-] tyler@programming.dev 19 points 4 months ago

What context do you need? The numbers don’t add up.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

I need to know what's up with the motorcycle.

Like, is it a parking fee?

Is it a stadium and the motorcycle gets a seat?

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 35 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's the Fuel & Environmental Surcharge of £7,50 that you conveniently cropped out:

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

In OPs defence, it’s kind of typical to have subtotals for only all numbers above. Mildly infuriating to see a subtotal and then have them be like oh yeh here’s what’s also included there after the fact.

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago

Surcharges are often listed last. But it's still a bit disingenuous to claim that the "math ain't mathing" if the missing charges are right there.

[-] 1stQ@feddit.org 15 points 4 months ago

That's how it looked like on my screen.

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Rendering issue then? Yours doesn't show the rounded corners in the bottom so there's definitely supposed to be more there.

[-] 1stQ@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

That part is scrollable. I didn't see any corners because gray on gray, (I don't have the best eyes anymore). Just tried to swipe that part of the screen on a hunch (my SO wouldn't have thought of that) and saw it hidden down under the total.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Sadly the UK didn't take over much of the consumer laws during its EU membership because it being hidden like that is not allowed.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

but that's not part of the subtotal

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It is part of the subtotal, but for some reason, the screen is showing the subtotal first.

[-] axexrx@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Then its a supertotal.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 29 points 4 months ago

That's those pesky hidden fees most places brag they don't have.

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago
[-] 1stQ@feddit.org 19 points 4 months ago

Yes. P&O from N. Ireland to Scotland. It doesn't look like it but the fees can be revealed by scrolling below the total. Doesn't look like it's a scrollable part of the website.

[-] Codpiece@feddit.uk 9 points 4 months ago

You could say it’s ferry ‘nuff.

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I just wanted to make sure I understood the context. At first glance I had no idea what was going on. A ferry was the only thing I could think of that made sense.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com -3 points 4 months ago

What the fuck did you just call me?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago
[-] Bitflip@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

Still seems like a good deal, even if you don't get to pick the gender.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago

Damn Europe got $20 motorcycles? Maybe they are better than us.

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca 5 points 4 months ago
[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago
[-] jellyfishhunter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Well no, it's British, not European

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Britain is still in Europe last I checked - I don't think we've gone full Noah's Island and fucked off into the north sea on our own tectonic plate yet...

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 5 points 4 months ago

Isn't vat like 15%? £49 + approx. 15% = £56.50.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No, VAT is 20% (except maybe on a few very specific products)

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 3 points 4 months ago

Apparently, and assuming this is transport, vat would be 0%. Besides fees not shown in the screenshot, I don't know why this doesn't math.

Passenger transport in a vehicle, boat or aircraft that carries not less than 10 passengers 0% VAT Notice 744A

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ah ok, didn't know that. And yeah, the numbers just don't make sense at all! 😁
