The article begins with "Ice trade started in 1806" and then explains how it had actually been in place for centuries (millenia?) before that. If you want to say that **large scale** ice trade began in 1806 maybe it could be defended (although there is always the detail of properly defining what "large scale" means), but as it is seems rather confusing at best and partial and worst... Needs proper edition. — Preceding

Cost of Ice in Australia
Under the heading Globalisation there is a sentence which reads "Ice from traders in New England reached Sydney, Australia, in 1839, initially selling at three pence (£0.70) per pound (0.5 kg), later rising to six pence (£1.40)." I've no idea what the convertion figures relate to as 3 old pence would be 1.25 new pence. Presumably it's a conversion to today's prices so it needs to say so and the inflation template needs to be used as thie amount will change year on year. Also 1 lb weight is 0.45 kg not 0.5.
