Deal or rather lack of a deal(s) I saw when in John Lewis ("Never Knowingly Undersold" ) in Grand Arcade, Cambridge ( Yes those are the real prices , and they now deliver to the US for only £15 !, bargain! ) Here is the current exchange rate (and a converter) so you can do your own sums Bear in mind that the UK price includes VAT ("sales tax") @ 20% ( up from 17.5%), and "includes free health care with every purchase" Good old Rip Off Britain, eh?

But is it less dynamic? Our ground-breaking research proves beyond any doubt that the answer is no — and that popular beliefs about the ‘loudness war’ need a radical rethink.
