Quaility and price go hand in hand

[Joe Poncho]

The mark-up on goods of any kind is astronomical in this country. We are the dearest in the Western world for most things. yes, governments are greedy for the tax but the shop keepers are just as greedy too often with a 100% pure profit mark-up or more!.
I came across a steak pie the other week at a trendy "farm shop" in Cheshire that was £20! I make my own "game" pies for next to nothing. It is the same with any commodity here. Rip off Britain! Another example was when I wanted to purchase a air rifle a few years ago and was told that I would have to pay "Import duty" on the damned thing. It was coming from Italy....EU NO IMPORT duty! When I pointed this out to the dealer he put the phone down on me. Money grabbing b******s!
