Not many (any?) Barcodes include pricing as this is usually derived from the retailers database so they can adjust pricing accordingly without having to change the barcode.

For this reason I doubt whether the pricing shown on any decoded barcode is actually 'valid'.
Don't take it personally......

Hi,

No barcode should include any pricing info. What you need is a scanner that searches google etc in the UK.

The one I use is by ZXing and in that you can set the search country
