Navagon: I think that number 2 should be changed to 'train tickets' in general. Then that moved to number 1.
That's what you get when you retire the talking trains...

Talking trains? You mean like Thomas the Tank Engine?

Bigs: And yet they're just about all cheaper than the same items in Australia...
BUT I'M NOT BITTER!

Ubivis: Or Germany, there are Items in the list above, I do pay about twice of the price mentioned.

My last razor blades were: 19€ (4 blades)
Yeah, because almost everything in Germany is extremely overpriced. All you people who hate how expensive stuff in the UK is, don't waste time shopping in Germany if you ever visit. :) Shopping in Germany is basically like shopping in Denmark and Sweden. And Ubivis's post is proof. 4 tiny blades cost him 19 euro. WTF!

Yes. Although "beheaded" and "replaced by obviously dead-eyed doppelgangers" would be more accurate.

AFnord: Though now that the € is so low, it might be time to change that.
Sweden has the Euro?

Didn't one of your politicians die, so you wouldn't get the Euro?

We don't have Euro, but we can order from countries that do (Finland being one of them). And Anna Lindh wanted Sweden to have Euro, and even though her death made more people vote yes, we still did not get it.

The funny thing is that essential goods like food tend to be cheaper in Germany, while non-essentials like video games are cheaper in the UK.

That list says nothing though. A ladies' haircut can easily cost upwards of €50 here, but my girlfriend manages to get her hair trimmed for €9 in the middle of Lübeck. An iPhone app might cost 69p, but another one might cost 10 pounds. A large takeaway pizza may cost 17 pounds (I'm guessing you mean Domino's there), but I've managed to get one for 8 pounds from a local Italian.

And 3D cinema tickets are a rip-off in any country.
