There's a very easy test.

There's a firm called Insight that sells mail order PCs and components in 
both the US and the UK.

The US site is www.insight com, the UK site is www.insight.com/uk

Since this is the same firm with more or less the same product lines you 
can do direct US/UK price comparisons.

The UK prices don't include VAT, so you have to add 17.5% on top to get 
the price that consumers (as opposed to businesses) have to pay.

This will very quickly show you that the UK isn't cheap at all...
