Hi MrBen, i can tell you re ; EXPENSIVE EGGS ;it's because of the fact that chickens are fed on wheat (or maize) and that is what has risen in price massively dut to fuel/demand/biofuels/speculative traders. The other rearing costs have also risen but less so. I may make the final, minor point, that given the above rises, the cot of agricultural land has risen by 40% in 1 year, affecting free range chicks. lots more to say re there not having been a early 90's recession but the eggs issue is frankly more interestng to all those except people who have no clue how the economy works. Im also interested in why the main dishes in the Bishop dont come with fries!??!? Will
