I rang to check if they had a particular chutney in stock (quite a difficult one to find) - he said that he did and had plenty of it; couldn't get to the shops that day, when I did go in the following day, he told me off for not having been in before (even though the shelf was groaning with jars of said condiment)!

I want LOCAL to succeed as I shop in very few other places! It's not fussy to want hygienic local places!

Why in this country do we have to pay through the nose to buy good quality food? Good cheeses and wines are sold in supermarkets as well as local shops and are freely available to all budgets. Such a throw back to the british class system that quality cheese should be priced highly so lower budgets cannot afford them.

I think the french have a better understanding of food though and class isn't allowed to cloudy the waters over who can eat what and where to buy it from. Price is the biggest barrier to that in the UK, and it's amusing to see spanish, italian delis, specialist cheese shops aimed at the middle classes in ED when back at home this food would be available to all people of all classes because price isn't a barrier. I'm not knocking iceland cheese, had a reasonable bit of cheddar out of there more than once before.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
