In the UK they are more or less the same as in the US when exchange rate etc is taken into account - however, lots of people find it traumatic posting stuff out of one country to another! I'm off back visiting the family in the summer so there's a chance to pick up stuff for myself then. As for prices here and in Germany - well wow! I won't even post them up 'cos they'll cause an outrage...
Thanks for the compressor tip - I might be able to get the same effect with a vacuum cleaner - the motor might race a bit though!
I was going to start low-tech with a bicycle pump though...
