Default Rip Off Britain?

Just got back from a trip to Belgium. Bought beer, wine, fags, tobacco.
Gordon Brown forces me to DIY and circumvent his system.

I spent just under £600. Compared it like for like with UK supermarket
prices and realised I just saved myself £500 for a 5 hour round trip door
to door.

I heard quite a long time ago that the quality and taste of imported food
products was higher in France (no doubt in other countries too) than in the
UK. Two products mentioned were Nescafe instant cofee and Knorr soups.
So, if you drink coffee; buy it for the better price _and_ taste.

I'm starting to wonder how much brand name power tools are in France &
Belgium. Do they work on UK voltage? Since I go every two or so months
this could be interesting!
