I am just a bit shocked and amazed that I am really receiving this answer as I cant see any logic to this.

Oh I can.

I was wondering about excange rates a few months back so I asked. I was told that 4p = 5c.

It didn't, of course, anywhere except in Adwords. I asked if in that case Google would mind changing some dollars for me.

I expect they are gouging on currency conversion, and this is therefore another class action waiting to happen.

At the time I recall 4p was actually closer to 7c, not 5c, but if what I were told was true (which it can't be can it?) then a lot of foreign advertisers are owed half their money back.

If I were Google, I'd feel a sudden fit of transparency coming on.
