[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 822574, member: 17918"] But ultimately, it?s all about affordability. As the goods are imported they will usually be more expensive here. At the same time, compared to cost of living, luxury goods are highly priced in the UK. Perhaps the percentage is higher here (eg. Someone earns R20000pm after, a pair of decent speakers is a months wages) but comparison to necessary living costs is lower (after rent and transport and basics they have R10000 left, 2 months wages to buy). In the UK someone earning say 2000 quid a month (after tax) yes, the same speakers are 0,5 months wages, but outgoing for basics are at least 1500 quid a month, this two months to save for speakers (if you are lucky). Horses/courses, as I said [/QUOTE]
