Letter: In Brief

Sir: Further to A Crossleigh's letter (29 September), I noticed while staying in northern France recently that the television satellite shopping channel showed French prices about a third of British ones. An item priced at pounds 40 was also available at Fr130. We know that international companies pitch their prices as high as the market will stand. Does this then show we are three times as gullible as the French?
