Another reason, perhaps why supermarkets are going green, via the local produce way.
Within the last 3 years there have been 3 farmers markets open within 5 miles of our local supermarket, (we have a Morrison's and a Tesco).
We buy our meat at these markets as by cutting out the middle man we can buy it cheaper, and fresher. Although often they only open 1 day per week the customer base has become noticeably bigger.
OK it may make only a slight dent in the profit of said supermarkets, but if they can show they are buying local produce and by cutting waste (greenseal, starpol) reduce their cost and pass some of that back to the customer, they will benefit.
Look how many customers pay inflated prices just because they see the word ORGANIC on a produce. They may buy mainly for the better health, better taste reasoning but I know a few who include the none use of pesticides (for reasons of none pollution of the environment as well as health) as a reason.
You may feel that I have gone a bit too far of track, but all this goes to show that Green is in. The customers know it and so do the Supermarkets.

Driver,
I would e-mail you anything you want, but you know everything I just sent to bos, anyway!
Aldwick,
if you had even the slightest insight into what I just sent you would know how silly you now look. If I were you I would edit that post, just in case bos decides (not yet) but sometime to let people know what I said.

I've seen them! lol
That was one of the nutters, you may remember, that was on here and FYB causing mischief. I forget his various aliases, but I helped to get him thrown of here and FYB and he peridically pops back up hurling insults at me. If you remember the run-ins I had with PM1 you'll realise his claims that I'm PM1's friend is pretty ludicrous!
