Pounds versus dollars.....
......it is common practice for companies from US who have UK branches, that the dollar price is automatically changed to a pound price with the same numbers.
I bought Veritas tools in Canada once and was so pleased when I found a UK supplier. I called them (yes, it was a long time ago) and was appalled to hear that $30 became £30 just like that. When challenged they said "mumble mumble transport costs mumble mumble". I was less than polite, and got a mate in Canada to buy them for me and mail them. Landsend clothes - same deal. The lady was embarrassed as she knew exactly what I was complaining about.
Barstewards, barstewards they're all out to get you!!

PS just for fun, Weber Smokey Joe today in UK £75.98. Compare your $30 and weep for us.
