I'm not sure the analogy is accurate Andrew due to the disaster accompanying these price rises - there are occasions when a sense of community should prevail.

Dunno there.
Its just basic supply and demand.
Local Disaster gives local bricks and mortar enterprises the edge,
high dollar gives overseas low cost internet sellers the edge.
I guess my post was more to highlight some of the vitriol posted on the other thread against local bricks n mortar people trying to earn a "first world" wage ( read large markups relative to overseas suppliers ) retailing "goods".
Now, when people need "local" bricks n mortar and it costs more because of the conditions, more vitriol flows.
I just reckon Community flows both ways .
Maybe those needing accomodation should buy it on the net?????
( wonder how much the postage is for a hotel
