Thanks Howabout

Re the Beetroot. The German owned Aldi started selling Aussie grown Beetroot at 75 cents a can. This was below the manufactured cost of about 90 cents a can.
Woolies and Coles matched the price and within 12 months the last Aussie owned cannery went broke.

All very sad. We no longer have any Beetroot to sell. Most now comes from NZ and tastes lousy as the soil is different

I fear Aussie Aviation is going down the same route
