Perhaps Mary, those prices were the true prices you should be paying for your veg if you didnt get them from a multinational corporation which deliberately underpays the producers to ensure its profit margins remain high whilst keeping prices low.

Many milk producing farmers do so almost at a loss due to the low prices and monopoly many supermarkets have on the market- also if you don’t sell them your milk, theres a good chance you wont be selling them anything else either!

understand that Slayer…. but Like other folks at this present in night I have to run a low budget…. Im all for using local produce etc…. It also relates to why we do have problems in this country as most households have to buy as cheap as they get to survive….

Mary- soz hun, I wasnt having a dig at you complaining- I buy from several farmers markets round here (we have lots of farmers!) n you do pay much more. From my view, I prefer the money to go direct to the farmer and not via a supermarket however I understand when finances have to be considered it is difficult to jusitfy buying from them.

Yes I go to the local farmers market. It’s where I buy my sex toys innit.

Blow up sheep again :wink:

Why would farmers have a herd of blow up sheep? That wouldn’t make a very nice lamb chop :? Use your brain!

I actually go there for hedgehogs, goats & dead foxes. My sex toys. The hedgehogs usually get lost up my bum and the dead foxes are only humpable until they are 3/4 decomposed, then you have to chuck it away. The goats last ages though, I have a whole cupboard full 8)

A whole cupboard full of goats- you must be kidding! You need a nanny to look after you!

Farmers have lots of herds of blow up sheep, it confuses the EU inspectors and allows them to get extra subsidies
