Lets look at some other countries
Country - Equivalent price at todays exchange
--------- -------
UK - £12.99
Denmark - £10.50
Germany - £9.40
US - £8.85
Holland - £8.33
Feel sorry for the Irish though - £13.49!
Anyone like to explain why 50% higher than other EU countries
Didnt think that was allowed
