Default Telescope prices in the U.K. vs U.S.A.?

I have noticed in the San Francisco branch of Scope City
( http://www.scopecity.com ) a fair number of Europeans making telescope
purchases. Not big crowds of them, mind you, but more of a steady trickle.

I suppose the prices in the US are a bit cheaper than they are in the UK?
Is there a problem obtaining equipment from the US?
I'd love to see a link to one of your English suppliers for Celestron or
Meade, so that I can compare prices. Are we dealing with a telescope cartel
or some type of structure that keeps prices in the UK higher than they are
here in California?

Is it in retalliation for sending Ali G over here?

Thanks,
Etok
Mill Valley, California
