 High street prices are a 'rip-off' - BRITISH consumers are paying more than Americans for virtually all high street goods, a Treasury inquiry has found. The research provides the first official support for the Sunday Times investigation into "rip-off Britain" and blames high mark-ups by retailers. An internal Treasury report, prepared for ministers, found that prices in Britain are on average: 56% higher for furniture and carpets; 54% higher for hotels and eating out; 31% higher for sporting goods; 29% higher for cars and motorbikes; 22% higher for electrical goods.
