Ignoring the Republic of Ireland and their struggle for independance there is a consistant pattern here : all of you (Ireland / Northern Ireland / Wales /Scotland / and England) are getting screwed from a pricing point of view..... watched some tv programs on BBC on the topic and it does appear that manufacturers keep the prices artificially high and they seem to be doing so with some sort of mutual understanding (or else you'd see much more competition on price)....................or maybe it is caused by the incremental cost of having to move the steering wheel to the wrong side of the car
