    Rice is so expensive now in the uk....doubled in price! Apparently it's cos places like thailand aren't exporting rice here at the moment...

    Is that the case where you are.....or is tough luck for us guys in the uk?!

    The price of rice in Sydney Australia has also doubled from about $25 per bag (25kg) about 18months ago to $50 (at one stage it was as high as $70). The price increase apparently also affects products produced from rice.

    Petrol prices here are also on the climb. About two or three years ago it jump from about 80c per litre to more than a dollar in a space of about three months people were up in arms. But these days people seem to accept prices as per as $1.70 per litre.
