We get a lot of strawberries grown in Spain. The type is Santa. They bounce. Seriously - there was a TV programme on teh evils of big supermarkets and they tested them. They are tough as old whatsits, they've been engineered that way to survive transit. And get this - the Spanish grow them for export to Britain. They won't touch them themselves. Bright red, flavourless, bouncy strawberries? Send them to the foreign devils! They eat big, squashy, untidy ones.

Yeah, you're spoiled for eating out prices. But then you add tax and huge gratuities I suppse. Still spoiled though
