[kj] OT: rip off britain?

[fat potanga]

Very OT this but it may be of interest to someone, somewhere... (Zzzzzzzzzz)

We're ripped off so much in the UK, but it didn't dawn on me how much until 
recently.
eg..
I just bought a new guitar - £400 in UK shops, not bad thought I, but out of 
curiosty I had a mooch online and find them being sold in Germany for £285 
including all UK taxes and only £10 to ship it over!
Whilst on holiday the other week I was looking at digital cameras, same 
story.
Model for model they cost in Euros what we'd pay in pounds here.
Crazy.

It's opened my tightly shut eyes  to the virtues of buying from abroad and 
if yer thinking of getting stuff, I'd seriously consider looking to the rest 
of Europe first.
