Folks in the US must understand that the UK is not as reasonable as the US for many items. If you thinking shipping is expensive, try living there. Here are a few examples: 1 dozen eggs 1.85 to 2.00 pounds, loaf of break 1 to 2 pounds. Petrol (gas) about 1 pound per litre. Oh, and the pay odes not compensate for this either. Do the conversion and you will realise why shipping can be so much.


Yeah living here is expensive, but on the plus side the strong pound makes it easier to buy Amiga stuff from abroad  :-) Hmm I wonder what the import export gap is like for amiga stuff.

There are things not to envy too. House prices are ridiculous here. It's stupidly hard buying a first house here unless you earn mega-bucks.
