But that is not businesses charging what they want/what they think customers will pay (what you said). That is determining price by profit margin, which is what you said they don't do these days. No they don't. Businesses generally try to squeeze the competition by price. Undercutting must be limited by cost but price setting can be more arbitrary and based on what people will pay.People don't necessarily have the time or inclination to find the cheapest price.

Just watched the UKIP party political broadcast,where they say they stand up for "normal" people.What could they mean by "normal"? Anyway,at the end,Mr Nuttall outlines the 5 main planks of UKIP policy. One is to "protect British culture". I wonder, does the panel think the street corner curry house is an integral part of British culture? If not,why not?

People are often wary of cheapest price and are inclined to go for mid price. Particularly with one off purchases

Nuttall is, as a scouser would say, a blert.

However, British culture would mean things like the right and freedom to celebrate and name certain religious times and holidays as they always have been, in public and schools. British parents really start to plan flight from the area when they're in the minority, and the majority comes from another century. Even Curry houses aren't very 'Indian', or Asian. It's now more fine dining or at least neutral colours and black, with table linen, China and glasses pre-laid. P.S - had an appliance delivered today by 2 east Europeans. They were tipped.

Exactly my point..our local curry houses are an integral part of British culture..not something "alien" or "foreign" in any way..but as familiar and reassuring as the fish and chip shop.. I do know what you mean by feeling oppressed when the majority come from another century,though...Its how I feel on HOL surrounded by so many rabid Brexiteers!

So your argument for mass immigration is curry houses? Stop please.

Or SW England Lib Dem constituencies, only the voters are floating over to Tory this time. Even the once remainers are now re-leavers. A surprise to Farron. What now? Threaten to move because 'We're European yes we are' placards. Jeez. Go on then. Edited by Rudi Hedman (19 May 2017 10.16pm)

If the people making and serving the food are British then that's fine. If they are foreign then that's fine, as long as they are legally here. What it is to be 'British' now has become so mangled and meaningless as to mean anything you like. It describes a legal situation rather than allegiance. Personally if someone with Asian heritage tells me they are English/Scottish/Irish then I know they are mentally integrated with the country they live in.

Edited by Stirlingsays (19 May 2017 10.14pm) I agree with that, only I don't hear any Asians say 'I'm English', because I think people say the country their parents are from, perhaps and hopefully followed by 'British.' It's a bit like America really. Italian-American. Irish-Anerican. You won't hear many Greeks in Britain saying they're English either, and their habits are very close to our's. I would say culture only we're in more of a hurry to distance ourselves from annoying family and place elderly relatives in care if you get my point. Anyway, Mrs May can afford annoying a few. She'll still win nearly all her solid areas and pick up a good few labour seats.
