I buy a lot direct from farmers too.It's often cheaper, as well as better. The farmer I buy lamb off sells lamb shoulder at 4.50/kg, whereas it's 6 quid per kilo at Asda. If he sells it to Asda he gets about 80p/kg from them for it, so customers buying directly off him is a win:win situation for everyone; except Asda, but they've got it coming.

Not nearly so much as Somerfield though.When Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall tried to get the supermarkets to agree to a meeting about free-range chickens, they were all cunts. But Somerfield was probably the worst. The CEO said something along the lines of "we don't see any point in encouraging our producers to go down a road that will not be maintained by our customer base."
Translation: "There's no point us doing the right thing because all our customers are ignorant chavs." I refuse to shop there now, even though it's only about 40 yards away. The sausage with the bone in it was the missus' fault.
