To other countries the UK is the most ripped off in the world. In the UK we get paid more than in the US. In the UK the minimum wage is $10.90 per hour and in the US it is $5.85 per hour (correct me if I'm wrong for the US, it could differ between states?).
There are alot of things in this country which are overpriced. Computer parts are pretty well priced IMO, as long as you get them off the internet and not from pc world (circuit city).
Most of us don't have friends in the states who enjoy shipping computer parts across the Atlantic to us, so we just buy what we can and frankly don't notice. It comes back to the old analogy of the grass is greener on the other side, but who cares if you can't see the other side.
