"Half a million tonnes of salt are shipped from the Irish Salt Mining &
Exploration Company in Kilroot every year, some going to England, Scotland
and as far as the USA. It's used for gritting icy roads in winter"

How odd that Eire gets theirs from Egypt.


Yep, in Dublin I am. As for salt coming from Egypt it just means that
coming all way from a lovely climate it's nicely warmed up when it arrives,
Lawrence!

....but yes, how odd...and I think Morocco has supplies that are sourced too!

Never do it the easy way, eh? Spending good IMF (& UK) borrowed money!!!
