American friend at work told me last week that his favourite Australian (SA) wine costs half as much in the USA as it does here...

Just so I can give an accurate response - what exchange rate are we meant to be using for the comparison?

Trips to the beach are considerably cheaper for most Australians than for most Brits.

Electricity is dearer here in Aus.... which surprised me... figured I'd announce that seeing as I went to the trouble of working it out. Circa 19.5 cents per Kwh on average in Aus now... which is around 12p. It's 10.5p per Kwh on average in the UK.

For $50 I'd expect the poor lady involved to have a face like a dropped pie . . .

That makes it cheaper in australia at our famous 2.2 average wage comparison rate. The only rate that counts for people already living in either country ;)
