Eh. We get the jitters when prime steak goes over 7-8 Aussie pesos a kilo,
or about 3-4 pesos per pound. That's be in the vicinity of about a quid per
pound, maybe a bit more. Hell, last week I bought 40kg of chicken pieces to
stick in the freezer, all good bits, not just wings, for 1.45 pesos per
kilogram. That'd be, oh, at 1 quid = 2.3 Aussie pesos... loose change for a
fresh chook.

Dunno. They changed the criteria some years back. Now you have to have
money. Your skin colour and personal stench don't have any real bearing on
the decision to let you in here.
