How much is Devondale milk in the UK ?

We pay $1.79 for 2 litres standard milk in my area
Tesco are charging £1.18 for theirs today

It seems Tesco are a tad overpriced....

hmmm...I could plug in a few numbers here - for me. Based on average earnings in industry, country, last salary there, last expected salary there, salary here - expected, average and actual.

They would all return different results. For me, it would be that Australian milk is cheaper - at those prices or they would be about the same. Either way I can buy loads of it.

A tin of something would probably be cheaper in the UK - but which tin, as we are reminded, there are all manner of tins on sale.

Harrods sells it's own brands and others too. Infact David Jones is like a - fook - the name escapes me - (it is in Sloane Square). You're talking to a man who was very selective when it came to some men's wear in one time and place(!)

Alot of their stands sell the same designer gear anyhow. I don't see how they can be crap. I can see the shop is smaller and carries less.

I've made it quite clear that some things are expensive in Australia. I've even tried to be vaguely analytic about it, rather than jump to conclusions...that only one way can be the case.

Next...

What else are they trying to say through their defensiveness other than Australia is beyond reproach? It's either that or a cry for help.

You can't even say Britain has greener grass without some smart-arse trying to prove that it doesn't.
