A couple I know have half a dozen chickens on their allotment, and for the next two months they're looking after someone elses (ten!) chickens as well. I've got a feeling this is what their diet is going to look like

Sad to not see bacon listed. A bit worried that the smoked salmon comes with 'soft' scrambled eggs - are the others served 'hard'? You're a bit restricted if you don't like sourbough though, what's wrong with a good old fashioned Bloomer?

True, but how many more would pay, say, £5.50 with a mug of T and proper bread?

Perhaps they want to go for the fortnum and mason lot, not the corner cafe crowd? High margins/ low turnover v low margins higher turnover I suppose.

Maybe, but it's the bottom line that's significant.

Exchange rate has gone through the roof more like. £1 is worth 2000€. Think how cheap a holiday in Spain would be. If the same dollar rate applied, even World Cup final tickets would only be £1.50!

 @Remspoor is right to say rock bottom as he lives in Spain.

We'd struggle to export much whisky at 40,000 Euros for a cheap bottle!

My general impression is export Single Malts to Spain is not going so well. Choice these days is very limited.

That's interesting - do you think that's something that has changed recently?

 

I just picked a UK-produced product (the first one that came to mind) of which the majority is exported (whether it's to Spain or anywhere else in the world)

Well things have changed since 2020 things have been harder to find.  The only British "food" items I want is a single malt and tea. Both have disappeared off of supermarket shelves. I do not live in an expat zone- Maybe it is better in these areas.

You’ll be hard pushed to find British tea. I don’t think we grow much here.
