On 1/3/06, Kostas Kavoussanakis, discombobulated, unleashed:
Pentax UK has solved it by overpricing everything by 40-60%, maybe
more.
The difference is that if we buy something from a UK shop and it needs
fixing or replacing, we take it back to the shop under statutory law,
not the manufacturer. It's their responsibility to sell goods intended
for the purpose they were designed for.
I suspect the corporate tax regime in both our countries makes the pricing
somewhat out of line compared to our undertaxed friends in the USA.
