See :- http://freerangereggs.blogspot.co.uk/2009/02/egg-yolk-colour-is-not-good-guide.html Plant carotenoids are the key to a yellow yolk, they absorb blue light and scatter the rest, they give autumn leaves their bright yellow colour. Farmyard birds will get much more plant carotenoid in their diet than birds fed a diet solely of poultry pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how Carney can feck up and makes things worse this week? Nah, it will all be good. I am expecting record breaking highs in everything. What can go wrong?

ExiledMatty Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Currently in NZ and not enjoying trips to the supermarket here. It's expensive enough for locals, but insane for us spending £s. I don't go anywhere near bars here. Had a pint of ordinary cider in Auckland before and it was almost £9. Despite having left the UK, I am mostly paid in £s, so Brexit is having quite an impact on me. Luckily I exchanged (as a hedge) quite a considerable amount of £ to USD back when it was $1.67:£1.00, so visiting countries that use the USD won't be too bad. If GBPUSD reaches parity, I'll be buying back all those £s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
