Send them a webnote, and it won't be student discount, but NUS most probably.
But don't get your hopes up.: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/webnote.php

let me know on the answer if you do it as would like to know would make me very much think about buying my new graphic card(s) i want

If they do, then I'm not going to be happy

Pretty sure they don't though, else they would advertise such a fact on their website?

I'm sure sending them a webnote about student discounts will give them all a giggle

Student discount, I wish.

Think they should get some OcUK socks and send them to us. No not off Gary in the cherry picking department, new ones please

Apple do one, can't think of much more 'premium price' than that

Lol I wouldn't think so. I remember a guy asking for a student discount from a local when I was in Amsterdam and he got charged double price XD

was the sales guy/girl from the middle east, because thats what our culture do. RRP is £200 but today and for you only, i do special price £380!

Ha, student discount....I wish!

I know Apple do them, but they put about 50-100% on top of what their systems are worth anyway!

Do people in the middle east really do that with haggling? Seriously? That seems odd to me since we're so used to our barter-free lifestyle. I've haggled for stuff like tuk tuks and food in india, but when I tried to haggle for my phone contract here they just had no idea what I was talking about and I was met with a confused face, crazy. Managed to take almost half off my virgin media bill by haggling though, was pleased with that. Seems hit and miss here in the UK.

went to a restuarant once and the guy gave us a food menu, the prices were both in arabic numbers, my lady didn't understand it but i did, later when we got the bill they wanted like £90 (equivellent) but we ordered about £30 worth of stuff, so i asked the menu to be brought back, and the guy gave us a different latin menu, exactly the same except it had 300% mark up lol.

or if you go to a store that has no prices tags on the foods, there is a reason for that, the locals know the prices but tourists get ripped off.
