woolybanana Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The price of hauling all that fresh(?) veg and fruit from Southern Spain must have gone up with the rise in the fuel price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Close wooly but no cigar. The cost of hauling all that produce from Spain has gone up, because the trucks now go back empty because the Spaniards can no longer afford to buy anything.
