This is interesting....

came back from a holiday in the Philippines.and you wouldn't believe the price of some things...

pack of cigs..same brand.. $10 here.....40 cents there

1 litre beer....$8 here.......$1 there

whitegoods....25 % of the price..eg...fridge / freezer $900 here....$200 there

build a house , 2 storey, 4 beds, study, etc....$35,000 there.....in Melbourne...would be 10 times as much

makes you wonder.

PMSL.....we can carry the conversation on next weekend, in a drunken stupor ....lettuce is much more interestin then

Apropos of the "lettuce" post - I've just been back to the original post: I"m afraid to say I didn't check how it came out after "entering". The formatting was done beautifully in columns in Wordpad...........

Apologies.
