Kerley - maybe I miss understood, or were you joking about butchers and bakers etc leaving a high st. were a good thing?
Stoner - you need to live up north. Our greengrocer is very reasonable, with very little packaging.
Our town survives because people are willing to queue up and pay for goods in local independent family run shops, where the quality is good and the service is top notch. Butcher often gives an extra here and there (oooh arrrh mother).
Just been into the greengrocer.
Large bunch of asparagus £2.99. British but with a wraparound paper label.
Slightly smaller bunch £1.99. British no label.
Guessing family of 4 2 smaller bunches would suffice.

Local shops for local people?
A butcher who gives selected customers the "Special Stuff"?
Say no more.
