Just Tax in America is different... They pay more income tax where we pay less but more fuel tax and have things like VAT.
But the simple fact is the uk has become a refugee camp along with more and more people using their child as an income.
This will never change as the EU has more control than the PM which is why we cant lay down any laws.
The country is one big joke. But so are the people who live in it voting for people like nick clegg

Average salary has little to do with GDP.

Anyway, I'm off to Florida in about six weeks and I will definately be having a look at graphics card prices when there with a view to bringing something back. About three years ago I bought a motherboard, cpu, memory and a graphics card in Miami and got through customs no probs, saved a fair few quid.

I want a GTX 680 and an i5 3550K, thanks!
Not true we pay far less income tax in the US than I ever did in the UK - all things considered.
The main difference in terms of income seems to me that I can buy a nice 4 bedroom detached house with a garage around here (nice area) for just under £100,000. Compare that to when I lived in Cambridge where the same deal would've cost me £400,000 easily, and you can see why people have more disposable income.
