It should be fairly easy to determine what country you are in based on your IP address... Many other places use this as a reliable method! Fair enough there are ways around this (such as proxies) but the number of people who know about this are far less than those who do!

Penguin Books UK manage to give a price inclusive of Tax as do waterstones. Why can't Whsmith?
