33% wax, how comes it's so cheap?
Or should that be, how comes it's so expensive over here?

Have no idea why waxes and polishes are so expensive for you guys! I wonder how much shipping would be to the U.K.?

Because we are idiots and pay any stupid price and get paid crap wages. My mom has a friend who is from Detroit who is living in Wolverhampton. She say the cost of living is double that of what it is in the US, her house in the US cost £200,000 which was a 6 bedroom detached house with a 3 car garage, pool and a pool house with a bar!!!!! Now she is living in a 4 bedroom detached house with a single garage in Wolverhampton and it has cost them £250,000. And to put insult to injury her husband who has got a job working in Birmingham is earning around 40% less than what he would be earning in the US.

That's interesting...my quaint 3 bedroom detached house with an attached 1-car garage cost £52,000 in GBP when I bought it, brand new, three years ago. It goes for about £72,000 now. I'm located about 15 miles outside of Tampa, Florida. Close to the beaches, not far from Daytona or Sebring.
I guess it's all relative of course, I think everything is too expensive and get paid crap wages too!

Hmmmm, £150,000 that converts to about $280,000 USD, you could buy this house http://www.rivercrestfl.com/audubon_...sp?model=egret, 2,850 sq.ft plus you can ad the 3-car garage and you'll still have 50-60K left over!

It really does take the ****, fare enough if it was some ware like Aylesbury where Jack Clark lives seems like a nice area but this is Wolverhampton it’s a ****hole how can they justify such high prices for a run down crime ridden concrete jungle Like Wolverhampton. How can anyone my age afford to move out???

Tim - I'm in the same boat as you - I saw a mortgage advisor recently (friend of the family hence his honest opinion and not sales pitch!) - he told me not to do anything for 6 to 12 months - he reckons the a*se is going to drop out of the flat market soon - last year flats were being sold the moment they were on the market - now they are starting to stay on the books for longer periods and sellers are starting to have to take offers as opposed to asking price - buying a flat now could leave a negative equity sting... (Lets face it - they can't keep flat prices artificially inflated for that long - 1st time buyers can't spend that much & eventually there will be no one buying at the bottom end of the market - supply and demand dictates prices *will* fall)
