Thats what has happened in Australia too. In the last 5 years the population of taxi drivers has changed from Chinese to Indian.
A lot of the drivers have now got degrees from back home that were good enough to enter Oz on Permanent Residency visas...but not good enough to lock-in graduate level work when they got to interview stage. All supermarket work is being done by them too.

And the levels of service have increased from "fair dinkum" to "Velly velly good".

Have you tried BP Ultimate Diesel? Ok, it cost 3-5 pence more per liter, big deal - a fiver per tank, but it gave 10% more miliage, and also car felt much snappier - now that I had to use tulip fuel I appreciate how good it was!!!

I was comparing Morrison's & Tesco; we have had a choice of those two this past few years. Tesco's was always significantly dearer.

But Morrisons is a cheap Northern version with gristle, whippets & flat caps. If you like that type of thing.

It depends on the basket and quality of goods. If you want prices & tulip food go to Aldi.

Best place to fill up if you want to collect their vouchers too.
