Australian Grown

Post by Airspeed »

Everything in our supermarket is Australian grown:
Here we are in Potato Central, and look at the price of these spuds!
Lemons from USA 75cents, they're joking.
Parsnip $10 Kg - do they think we're made of money?
Since when has $7 Kg been the price for apples?
These lettuce shouldn't even be on the shelf, look at the poor limp things!
Sorry, did I say "grown"/ I meant "GROAN". :((

Cheers, Dennis - It's just that there are so many of them here, the locals are picking up the habit. Of course, being Scots-Irish, not a Sassenach, I am above that sort of thing :lol:

Didn't you know, most of us are just Poms that got smart and are now proud residents of God Zone, The Lucky Country! B-) :Dance: :rock: :party:

Some of us are even smarter and stayed this side where it's not too hot and the spiders are a little more friendly :lol:

I've always wondered why NZ lamb travels half way around the world to get here and is always much cheaper than Welsh lamb which crosses a single border 8)
