kannie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks Claret. I find it hard to imagine buying apples, in particular, from anywhere other than our own country - but China or America?? Why??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The local apples I buy from the Farmers' Market have just finished and I had to buy some from the Farm Shop instead - they came from New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Do you know, that drives me nuts! I sent OH to the farm shop teh other day: Its brilliant fro local meat, but OH picked up soem asparagus... from Holland I know the Netherlands aren't exactly a million miles away, but even so, this time of year.... As an aside...Have you seen how many air miles are in a typical bouquet of flowers? Hmm... Off to start a new thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
