Anyone remember a few years ago, dairy farmers saying it was cheaper for them to pour milk down the drain than sell it to supermarkets at the prices they were willing to pay?

Look around your local area, are the smaller butchers struggling? I bet they're not.

I think you're right. But there are problems. Lamb chops in the local butcher are £21.99/kg; M&S £17.99/kg; Waitrose similar to M&S at the butcher's counter, £15.99/kg pre-packaged. Price can become an issue due t the Guvmin's unbalanced assault on take-home income.
