    Whinge of the day thread...

    One of the best lettuce growers in Qld was not offered enought by the supermarkets to cover the cost of the carton let alone the product so he ploughed the lot in. What a waste of rersources and effort. That was about 16 years ago. I bet the capsicum grower got about 50 to 70c..

    Internet searches

    Yes I must agree. Micromanagement is creeping in, It seems caged chooks are on the way out in favour of free range etc. I had two free range eggs for breakfast this morning Small yolks and very pale same as last time.. Why not let us decide for ourselves what we want to buy.
