Default Buy Lurpack

This country imports from Islamic countries some where in the region of £150,000,000 worth of food stuffs ex any none food oil based products every year. Most of this food is destined for the minority market. It can be found in main stream supermarkets but also in ethnic food stores and of course the 'average Indian restaurant'. Most 'Indian' restaurants are not run or owned by Hindu Indians from India but by Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. The proportion is approx 50% B 35% P and the remaining 15% between the other sub continental people.

The amount of money that is exported by the people working in this industry would even scare Gordon Brown but it is most likely he is unaware of it or chooses to be unaware of it

The average restaurant changes hands for £50,000 to £100,000 YET something like 80% of restaurants are not registered for VAT.

Interesting figures ???
