What context do you need? The numbers don’t add up.
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?
It's the Fuel & Environmental Surcharge of £7,50 that you conveniently cropped out:
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.
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.
That's how it looked like on my screen.
Rendering issue then? Yours doesn't show the rounded corners in the bottom so there's definitely supposed to be more there.
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.
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.
but that's not part of the subtotal
It is part of the subtotal, but for some reason, the screen is showing the subtotal first.
Then its a supertotal.
That's those pesky hidden fees most places brag they don't have.
Is this for a ferry ride?
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.
You could say it’s ferry ‘nuff.
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.
What the fuck did you just call me?
AI math?
Damn Europe got $20 motorcycles? Maybe they are better than us.
Well no, it's £20.
Oh so like $30
Well no, it's British, not European
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...
Isn't vat like 15%? £49 + approx. 15% = £56.50.
No, VAT is 20% (except maybe on a few very specific products)
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.
Ah ok, didn't know that. And yeah, the numbers just don't make sense at all! 😁
1x Motorcycle and 16+ adults?
