I had some principles when I started this blog including no xenophobic "Why can't France be more like Britain" posts. Hopefully this one doesn't cross that line!
Our car is a Honda CRV, it was built in the UK in Swindon and registered in the UK before gaining its French lights and plates. It's exactly the same car as is sold in France with the same engine and the same service schedule
So why does it cost £224 (with a free courtesy car) for a major service at the Honda dealer in Southampton and €425 (£378) at the Honda dealer in Vannes for the same service (plus €15 for a courtesy car). That's 69% more (excluding the courtesy car),
Guess in which country the car's next service will be done?
In Sapa, Vietnam
