Surely retail price needs to be more than a fiver for the correct product?

Whites £210/ tonne delivered in bulk

£10 pt for bags! Without grading anything. If bulk is £180-£200 bagged stuff ought to be £40pt more imo. So £6 on the farm is about right ATM. Retail must be around £7.50-£8.50 in farm shops etc.

Going up but in danger of getting overcooked.

A bag of spuds at £7.50 is by no means dear, that's if they are any good, sadly none that I can find are any good

What have you got? Bound to be able to send them over here

Piper, Agria or Sagitta. All good for chips,jackets,roasties. Piper maybe not so good for mash.
All from well bodied fenland with plenty of taste!

Apart from piper I have never heard of any of them before, pentland dell or kerrs pinks would be my first choice.

I don't really know what a good chip potato should be like, I want dry and floury, not watery or soapy if that makes any sense

You're giving away your origins there, with a taste for Dells or Pinks! Us immigrants are continually disappointed with the English Pruta.
