Its like everything else in the UK. Doesn't just apply to decoders.

The big issue is real estate and overhead. The cost of running a business in the UK is higher by 100% or even more per square metre when compared to the USA and even parts of Europe. You are not going to cover that massive overhead selling decoders in the UK at USA prices. And of course there is not the volume of sales either.

If we Brits want to enjoy high house prices then we have to enjoy high prices in other areas and not complain about it.

Why is Coca Cola almost half the price in Spain that it is in the UK?

You can get the large bottles for about €1.25 in Spain but in the UK even at Tesco and Asda you pay about £1.60 which is about €2.30.

A quote on the BBC Breakfast News this morning in connection with the internet cheap wine and **** news story.

Goods sold in Britain are expensive because QUOTE "the British consumer is willing to pay the price"
