Re: oil
John the gas used in cars is not the same as the gas you cook on at home. Was a big thing here in Oz for many years but slowly dying out now. Petrol prices are down and many of the new cars cannot be converted to gas.
But we do some of the finest olive oil in the world , great fruit of which we export a motza, great beef and lamb which UK did buy prior to EU, maybe you can again after this is over.
As to French wine, see a bit here on the odd occasion but it dose not sell well, local staff far better.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Know the feeling John, her in doors always tells me I can get petrol cheaper than she can.
Forget the last time she put any in.
