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.


Packet of fags in Luxembourg - £1.70 IIRC

even cheaper

(12 months without a cigarette now)


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'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!

Don't forget, different moulded plugs

remove them and you prolly invalidate the warranty
