Drop the tomatoes, and it definitely needs potato bread. One thing this Yorkshireman learned as soon as I stepped foot here.What about a nice Ulster fry with Cookstown family sausages?Even the hens knew the result of the US election and ceased up. Supply/demand...... I am now hungry.

No mushrooms either, what is the world coming too!
Your sausage selection, on point though.

Re: The Price of eggs
Overheard recently, with slight embellishment: “I’d like seven grain toast, poached squirrel eggs, one square sausage, two, not one, not three, rashers of streaky bacon from a pig born under the sign of Aquarius, and a left-handed tomato.” Hotel breakfasts bring out the worst in people.
Re: The Price of eggs
I’m living through the sudden eggflation, which has been real, but also seems to be abating a bit. I just put a dozen extra large local organic eggs into my grocery order for tomorrow, and it came to $6.19. Three weeks ago, it was $4.99. But a week ago they were not available, and only some $10+ cartons could be found - perhaps they were those prized squirrel eggs. I abstained anyway.

Re: The Price of eggs
I’ll check, but at this time (and place) eggs are probably more of a Giffen good than potatoes.

Re: The Price of eggs
How then about categorising a Spanish omelette (eggs, potato, onion)?I’ll check, but at this time (and place) eggs are probably more of a Giffen good than potatoes.
Don't put too many onions in the omelette.
Re: The Price of eggs
Checking Russet potatoes as well as little creamers (probably a trademark), they’re both the same price as 6-8 months ago.

Tesla floods Dutch used car market amid declining new sales
https://nltimes.nl/2025/02/22/tesla-flo ... -new-sales
Several factors may be driving consumer hesitation. The Dutch government is rolling back tax incentives for electric vehicles, increasing road taxes, and eliminating subsidies that previously made EV ownership more attractive. In addition, rising electricity prices have made charging costs less predictable. "Buyers are facing ongoing uncertainty around electric vehicles," the spokesperson said.

The social stigma of owning a Swasticar should not be underestimated. I made a trip to California a couple of weeks ago and, at the time of booking, the cheapest rental cars to be found from the major agencies were Teslas.
