Sam's Wine and Spirits in Chicago, and maybe Uncle Sam or the State of Illinois or the city of Chicago, are taking a nice 67% cut off retail in the UK. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!! Especially after the good folks at FedEx shipped it over to Chicago for free, the payment methods involved were gracious enough to exchange with commission, the local distributor waived their commission, etc., etc., etc. HTH, R ....OTOH, it's probably yet another crooked Illernoise pol trying to raise cash to buy a Senate seat or something... |

I should have mentioned that £30 retail in the UK includes excise duty and sales tax (VAT), which wouldn't apply to exports. The UK retail price excluding duty and VAT would be about £20. Cheap whisky in the UK is about £10, inc duty and taxes (70cl). -- Nogood Boyo |
