It might be more to the point if we get the supermarkets to stop importing so much food and encourage our own farmers by not screwing them to the ground for as cheap a product as possible.I'm wondering how many farmers have gone to the wall because of the supermarkets ploys..

I try to buy English or British where ever possible but sometimes the choice is not available at the supermarket.Maybe taxing the supermarkets if THEY don't offer a home grown choice would be more to the point.

Granny Smiths grown in this country are so much nicer.
