Thats neat, I guess you take advantage of UK generally free P&P to them then they do the UK France leg - nice thx.

Joking apart it's becoming crazy how expensive virtually everything is here in France.

The high social charges are IMHO to blame - for someone to earn minimum wage of �1060 it cost's the company about �1600 the �600 is social security, plus tax is payed after like a UK self employed system.

This means companies don't make cash which means less companies and less competition keeping prices high.
