Better that an a pound a net !!. If they decided that they wanted to be a big player in a given market they undercut all the competition until they are forced out of business then put the price back up while driving the cost price down. Thats how companies like that operate.

Be glad they over charge, I bet all the local grocers and butchers wish they did!

During christmas tree sales I used to knock out 10k bags at £5 a bag. The city folks on holiday snap em up. Would easily get through 5-7 tonne depending on the weather.

The problem with UK military is that if someone makes a decision to change a supplier and its a good decision nobody takes any notice and they get no recognition for it. If they make a decision that is bad then their record will have a black mark on it for life. Hence there is no incentive to change anything. The US military on the other hand work in totally the opposite way and their Sargents are encouraged to use their initative.
