Did the whole Corn Dhu-Pen y Fan thing as a young cadet,though it's fair to say I didn't have much choice in the matter
Magnificent scenery.
Health and Safety probably wouldn't allow us up there today.

Ah, New Zealand lamb. That was advertised in the pre EU days along with other products sent to Blighty by the colonials.
It is now $11.50 a minute....
Caused a bit of a stink here when Britain decided to turn to the EU for its meat and produce; makes economic sense though, but boy, Britain was accused of 'abandoning' its young and all sorts!
Most of the clearer thinking Brits didn't want to end the Commonwealth produce Nuuumann.
I'm not that it has made any economic sense over time.
Why we could not have both EU and Commonwealth goods on our tables is beyond me.
Choice is all....

I think protecting European farmers had something to do with it. We can produce really high quality wheats that account for something like 60% of the asian export wheat markets, but we manage a measely 0.5% to 1% of the EU market. Canada clobbers us there, but even the Canucks are being artificially pushed out of the market by those cranky french farmers.
Romania had way too many horses just hanging about.
Depends on the location, cut and quality. Example from you average supermarket in Seattle area:
Ground chuck - $2.49/lb
Ribeye - $5.99/lb
Sirloin - 3.49/lb
We are paying nearly $12 a pound for supermarket ribeye.
Ridiculous money....and goes some way to explain why the horse meat fraud was so attractive to the criminal fraternity.

The Rolls Royce engine sucked.....

Smart people. But then its impossible to it do in big cities.
So you pay 20 euros per kilo??? Ridiculous prices.
We pay maybe 6-8 euro here, and the stuff is top notch, from flavor to color. At supermarkets the prices are lower.
By the way, Chris, that needs to be in the form of a question to qualify for the thread...for example:The Rolls Royce engine sucked.....
My cousin and I buy a pair of little piggywiggys every 6 months, feed them up on scraps, windfall apples, nuts and grain and when they are a nice size its bye bye piggywiggys and hello to a chest freezer full of prime pork cuts, sausages and bacon.
