That's a stupid argument.
Haven't you ever noticed that almost all imported products have UK prices
are the same in pounds as they are US Dollars? CD's cost £16 and are $16
in the US, the exact same TV is £499 but in the US it's $499?
I'm guessing this is tariff related, but every time i've ever been in the
UK, with few exceptions that rule has been the case.
