   Yep… we had a wholesale sales tax – the rate varied on various items – it was a nightmare to manage. Then, it was replaced by the GST (Goods & Services Tax). Levied at 10% on most goods and services. Some exclusions – particularly most basic food items – but seems to work moderately well. NOT over popular, but what are you gonna do? Governments have to get cash from somewhere and hitting the big end of town seems, for some obscure reason, to be too hard… Come the revolution, Comrade…

   Yeah… I’ll take your word for it, but like others here, my experience of “instant” spuds was in the Australian Army in the mid – late sixties and I have no desire to revisit the experience. Although, when you’re in the bush and hungry, it’s amazing what you’ll eat. Even the ration packs. Try eating almost anything from those abominations when you return to civilization and the whole lot will end up in the bin.

   “Instant coffee” is a misnomer. There is “instant” and there is “coffee”. There is no relationship between the two. As for “instant potato” – probably fine for astronauts, but please leave the rest of us out of it…
