Why are we Brits paying more of our hard earned money compared to our European friends?

Companies are over charging the British nearly 60% for their clothes

The latest figures published by retail analysts have suggested that we Brits pay an additional 60% on clothing compared to other European countries selling the same attire. Clothing companies such as H&M, Zara and Mango put an additional percentage when retailing in the United Kingdom and this is not just on their high-street shops but also on their online website (and the increase of price is even more astonishing in their online shops).

In comparison to Zara’s international websites, you will see the United Kingdom differs more substantially in price more so than its European counterpart, if you were to compare prices to the Spanish version of Zara Online you will see that you are paying a lot less for an item.

Now if you were to look at the links below for a female coat sold on an European scale by Zara you will notice that on the UK version of the website the price of the attire is £119.95 whearas on the Spanish version of the website the price is set at €99.5. If we were to convert the Euro figure into Great British pounds (based on the conversion rate set by www.xe.com) it comes to a total of £80.3592 so based on this figure presented on the Zara websites it is far cheaper to buy from Zara Spain then Zara United Kingdom.

So why are we paying extra? Retailers often look at a country individually and they come to the notion that they may or may not charge more for that country, the prices of clothes are set by how much consumers are willing to pay for that item, companies such as H&M, Zara and Mango feel that they can charge more in the United Kingdom.

Our note: We at frontpose find this utter BULLS**T (sorry for the language but this has really annoyed us in every way), these companies feel that they can milk us Brits out of extra money, this is frankly immoral in every ways. 
Their excuses for this price hike is cause they feel they pay higher rent, rates, staff costs and taxes but wait a second they sell products via the internet (many of the above excuses doesn’t come into practise) and even then the prices of products are way too high for the UK and being an online retailer we can say that their excuses are ridiculous.
