In theory it shouldn't be and I hope it isn't, but theory has been proved wrong over a lot of things.

In theory, decimalisation shouldn't have altered the price of things one iota, a penny tax rise shouldn't raise the price of ale by ten pence, the low cost of fuel over the summer should see gas and electricity prices drop later in the year.

Funny how prices don't always run according to logic.
