The British shops we know are slightly cheaper on a few things, but for example, a four pack of Crosse & Blackwell beans was €1.40. Flora was very expensive, but we can buy that in Continente. [IMG]smileys/Smile.png" height="19" width="19" align="absmiddle" alt="Smile" />

Believe it or not, Flora is actually 20 cents cheaper in apolonia than it is in Continente!!!!

They still don't have a price list on their website for this new store, but there is an interesting explanation of how the selling price in Spain is arrived at. The same basic principle applies here,  except of course VAT is higher and going to get higher still

Queuing for Chicken Kiev. Sad.

Back again today ,walked out on Wednesday ,too busy.All the produce has translations on ,my mistake.

Just as a bit of a light hearted aside I can thoroughly recommend the content of a certain  forum aimed at the "ten bob millionaires" from the "english village" where a former favourite here is regailing the assembled company with more of his usual pompous "boll***s"..........

I have had a truly entertaining few minutes reading through the cobblers posted there.

Yes please do tell, or even PM me a link if you wouldn't mind.. I've not a clue what other forum you mean, thanks.

My goodness but you can certainly argue about the iceland store for ages can't you. I wonder how long it will take before he gets sick of everyone on there

Ha ha, yes I nearly said that but copped out - I'm a wimp!
