Yes, we do have higher wages. (last week I read Copenhagen has the highest avr. wages in the world).

BUT when you consider taxes, cars that cost 3-4x as much as in the UK (due to taxes), 2nd highest food prices in Europe (after Norway) etc etc, at the end of the day, I don't think Danes have more buying power than the average Brit or German.

About moving to Scandinavia, I wouldn't put your hopes too high for the other countries either. Norway, Denmark and Sweden have an eerie habit of 'harmonising' their laws and rules. The reason the Codex-like laws have started in Denmark earlier than in the other two countries is, most likely, because one of our biggest industries here is that of pharmaceuticals (lobbying, you know). Sweden is more about steel and foresting, whereas Norway is big on oil. But probably won't be long before they have the same laws in place there, sadly.

It is really very disheartening that we in Denmark are nearing a point where we have to deal with nutritional supplements the way one deals with heroin and cocaine. :(
Codex Alimentarius seems not long off here, really.

If you want to come to Scandinavia, I highly recommend Norway. An absolutely, stunningly beautiful country. Cleain air, breathtaking nature, nice people. (but high taxes, too :p)

Thanks for the link to the UK shop.
Looks good. *bookmarked*
