How do you figure that milk is cheaper or indeed fine wine or actually a beach holiday ?:)

I know daffyds post is the dumbest yet! You can only get a train from about 3 places in Australia! I doubt any of those things are cheaper and hugely variable. I can get a bottle of australian wine for £3 in sainsburys and we got a last minute deal to menorca last summer for £200 each! As for cinema tickets it cost £2.50 the last time i went on the isle of wight. Admitedly that was about 8 months ago and midweek!!!

Ah no. I remember buying a piece of wood for about $40 dollars in Alice Springs once. I saw a similar thing for 50 pence in a local charity shop the other week!
