Must be a british thing?

Non, du verstehst es falsch, mon amigo. According to EU standards (of which the Brits are no longer a part of) sugar bags (empty) should weigh exactly a pound each to withstand all and any shipping conditions.
well that's just £3300 then, yeah?
Half that, 3300 pounds of sugar is roughly 1800 quid (retail) and wholesale is probably half of that.
Well that's what ... 300 or so pints?
Wait beer in the UK is 11 quid per pint??? I know UK pints are bigger, but that seems really pricey
I estimated about 6 quid. We left £3300 behind because 3300 1-lb bags of sugar only costs £1800.

;) I like these easy breezy Late Friday threads!
