Lynne i agree british farmers cant supply us with all the fancy food we now have but they can supply more of what they used to produce why do we need strawberries,tomatoes,lettuce,cucumber,etc 12 months of the year, we should be eating what is in season and for one i hope it goes back to that. But as you well know Lynne very little will change after brexit and all this might and that might is ...
Lynne we never had all this food when i was a kid and we ate our fill every day we will have to change our attitude to food and you will have to do without the odd ingredient it wont kill you life will go on and folk will get used to it, but of course little will change the Spanish will still sell us oranges and do we need French cheese and wine not really cant stand the stuff.

But if everybody refused to take the packaging they would soon change but of course folk wont it's far to much trouble thats why we have a problem.
You could all do what i do remove all the plastic packaging from the food i buy at the till and leave it there if everyone did this Supermarkets would soon get the message and reduce plastic packaging. It's a bit of a pain but the look on the cashiers face when you do is well worth it because what it does is hold up the till they then have to remove all the packaging and clean the area all this ...
