Going abroad and seeing things like a jumbo-sized can of Gillette shaving cream for half the price of a much smaller can that we're sold in the UK.
By chance, is that in a country with a different economic status? Perhaps one with differences in taxation, social welfare, and wage levels. One that is more dependant on tourism maybe? Could there be different supply chain methods and cost of sale etc. etc.
If you are in Scotland or the Isle of Wight, then I’d be annoyed as well.
If you are in the USA or Scandinavia, it might be worth going onto the “general things that please you” thread and commenting on how lucky you are to live in this country, rather than being ripped off over there.
That when you submit a planning application with Greenwich Council they sell your details on to a bunch of third parties such as party wall surveyors etc. Who then send letters to your neighbours pretending we have employed them for their services. And if your neighbours engage with them you are on the hook for whatever they bill you.
And that's all legal! How?!!
Luckily managed to bat it away (hopefully) and the neighbours know not to engage but that's a joke.

Party wall issues are important and its right people should know they have e rhe choice to ise someone other than the surveyor of the person doing the work. But agree it can be a license to print money at your expense
