Good grief - how do they DO that and get away with it? I suppose they have
big staffing overheads or something but I should think we charge about £3 or
£4 for 100 bulbs. I'll have to check I'm not missing something off here

"in the green"?

Of course. They're dug up by the estate workers and brought to us in sacks.
We bundle them up in wet newspaper. I've checked with Ray and there's
somewhere around 40 per bundle for £1.50. We don't count each individual
one out by hand but we reckon we know how big a bundle should be! I think
the double flowered ones are a bit more expensive but not enormously so.

because I'm really quite shocked at that!

Compare with a Dutch seller
