Afraid this is not only meat John, but most industries today >>> imports are cheaper, mainly 'cause of labour costs, we won't work for less than £ 1 per hour (or whatever) and the big boys in any industry are so competitive between themselves, sets the price for the smaller boys and even they push your prices down, 'cause you so glad of their orders at any price at the end of the day. Basically, we are starting to pay highly for our expected excellent lifestyle
