Now a feeble attempt to get the thread back on target.

I wonder where was cheaper in 66 Aus or the UK ?

In fact it's done this for me... (just to show how far a thread can actually go ff topic )

How much is a nice female Cockney accent combined with 'tude worth.... Priceless dammit. Didnt realise how much I missed it till this came along. Hope my Daughter comes back with a trace of one.


Oh will I can smile now I realise that prices aint that bad.

Average Male Full time total earnings:
May 2009
Australia: $70,038 per year. Source
UK: £27,552 per year.
If you compare MEDIAN earnings, does it make a difference??

UK MEDIAN FULL TIME MALE income for 2008-2009 was £28,300 (source: www.statistics.gov.uk)

OZ MEDIAN FULL TIME MALE income for May 2009 was $59,532 (source: www.abcdiamond.com)

It's what they are bred for. They are food.

....if the meat sells for what is quoted above they must have been bred for pulling wagons

How come no one else can find food that cheap?

Go on.... mention the lack of beaches in Brisbane! You know we need the city beach photo again!

I must admit, I'd never buy meat at that price, my suspicion would stop me.....

I'm sure ABC will be along soon with some stats to tell us we're wrong.
