I'm quite shocked by how some things seem unjustifiably expensive....for example I had to take my cat to the vet today because has trouble chewing his food, and the consultation fee with a small painkiller was just £30!! I have to take him back on Tuesday for a tooth to be pulled out and that's gonna cost me an extra £90!!!!!!! And to top it all off, I'm paying f****ing pet insurance, and looking at the small print - I may not be covered for dental work!! Why do we have to pay so much for things....what other expensive things make you mad? |

1st and foremost. The 2 things that piss me off so much because theyre so expensive is: Cd's and food. Food, it's a necessitiy, why the hell should we have to pay so much for it? I think it should be really cheap. Cd's. $18.99? What are they tryin to pull? It dosen't cost anywhere near that to make, why should we have to pay that much. It's not like artists make that much on each cd anyway. I hate things that are expensive, especially if it's from chain-store monopoly commericial garbage. So i hear ya man, good luck with that. |

CDs are so much more expensive over here in the UK, as opposed to the US and Canada. Typically about £15, and DVDs are about £20 |

I payed $3050 for my laptop, apple's prices are rediculous. Wonder what it costs them to produce each one. |

When I went to Canada £1 was more or less $2. So based on that, CDs here are about $30 CA. |

Glastonbury festival admission (£120) and food/drink prices once inside (crap loaf of economy bread = £3 .. mmm tasty) paying to witness pitiful football matches at places like Stamford bridge & white Hart Lane for £30. paying £5 tax to get into late night venues that are just basically pubs with a late licence. Anything to do with formula 1 motor racing which could do with major re-invention if its ever going to become remotely interesting again. |

we are sounding a bit like anorak campaigners on local radio phone-ins though aren't we ? "Ooh, everythings so expensive these days, (whinge moan rant rant !!)" but Brits do get charged more, than nearly all other Europeans for some reason... and I've never known why.. perhaps we are stupid !! |
