Don't forget islanders too.

Geelong Gent

iamthecreaturefromuranus

really, I wonder why?. Wouldn't be the fact its 50c and drier than a lizards armpit?

iamthecreaturefromuranus

yeah... Christmas Islanders

Lord_Farquar

Can't see where he mentioned fruit? He was referring to indonesian workers.

Lord_Farquar

I actually meant the pacific islanders which are recruited to fruit pick etc.

Lord_Farquar

I took the response to be with regard to the mexican worker comment rather than fruit being grown in the outback.

Broad Shoulders

...if you say so

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Well I say so...

Peaches $3.99/kg @ Coles Armidale NSW

$12.99 kg at our local Coles last weekend. We're in Perth's northern suburbs. 69c kg from the from UltraMart in Burlington Ontario. They're grown in Central America and shipped up to Canada. Just because it hasn't been done for a while, lettuce is about 79c a head even though it's the middle of winter there.

...and the peaches here are bloody awful as well.

How on earth did I get better tasting peaches in the UK, when they had to fly them across the Atlantic or in from Israel, than I can here when they grow them up the road?.

Dorothy

funny, the old man just said the same thing! He bought me peaches as a treat on Monday and they weren't anywhere near ripe yet, so no taste. I went to have one today and they were freakin' mouldy!
