Thanks,
It probably has to do with the exchange rate from Euro to Sterling.

I know the Euro to US Dollar has greatly equalized over the last few months. Last July a Euro was worth about $1.60 today a Euro is about $1.30. But, I think the Sterling has moved alot too.

Today a 1 GBP is worth 1.12 Euro. But, in July 1.26 Euro. Also, in July 1 GBP was about $2 where today 1 GBP is about $1.46.

So, 199 GBP in July was 250 Euro
And today 224 GPB is 250 Euro
