#7  Howard UK, I'm no sprout-eatin carrot-snappin vegan but I do like my veggies fresh and full of flavor, [like my home grown stuff] so I pretty much buy local organic/or regular produce whenever I can. The exception are few except in the winter I buy fruit from down under..South America or OZ-NZ.

#6  I'd pay serious extra money for fresh produce raised on the rolling Derbyshire hills. You've a way with words Howard.

#5  If there is a pent up demand for local produce it sounds as though you have an excellent business opportunity Howard. Or maybe most people are happy with Tesco rather than paying over the odds for some dodgy off-license offerings.

Personally, I miss the Tesco Metro in central Manchester. Ahh, to have a proper British triangle sandwich...

#4  Whenever people get trained to how to recognize bad guys, they start to ponder aloud why they should have to.... and then more people start accepting the War on Terror as real. Followed by a change in voting patterns.

#3  Tesco are like Walmart, I guess. They opened a store in my home town and did the local family owned businesses out of trade - well that's capitalism I hear you say. Well, now we have few family owned businesses we cannot purchase fruit and veg grown in the locality so easily nor can we purchase meat that's guaranteed to have been raised on the rolling Derbyshire hills. A real shame.
