If I bought a US/Candadian Gamecube, I have seen one for £150 inc P&P ex VAT and import duties, Would it work here in the UK?

get a console = 260 (including duties etc shipping step) down leads) (liksang)
extra pad =32 (mx2)
mem card =12 (dvdboxoffice)
5 games = 150 (dvdboxoffice)

this is a rough break down.
i decided to get an import because you get it quicker
the games and accesories earlier and cheaper
and because i had too much money at the time

Are you sure that both we and Japan are region two??? After all, they're miles behind in DVD technology!
