Some nice points - and comparisions - there Fred.
I agree with you that French lamb is hideous stuff and heavily over-priced. A French chum once told me the price was due to massive demand from restaurants in the big cities forcing the price up at wholsesale meat markets.
Having said, every field round here seems to be full of mangy sheep so I would have thought there is plenty to go round.
And you're right about the GBP exchange rate.......which is getting worse while that half-wit Theresa May and her bunch of incompetents seem incapable of presenting a coherent Brexit plan to the EU. While confusion reigns, the markets get the jitters, have no confidence in the UK and the £ value falls.
In the meantime Brian, you may have rights to the HP sauce business but I'm claiming the Marmire franchise for my own. A 250gram jar of the stuff costs about £2.40 in Sainsbury whilst here it's priced at €8.95. Nice business to be in. I can see my euro income getting off to a flying start.
