I can confirm from a relation that Sainsbury’s is stuffed with polish mince
think apb might have slipped up this time , not going to help their image , as its plastered all over social media (along with the unhygienic polish abattoir issues they had last year ) There was a rumor about stockpiling on shipping last year in the event of no deal brexit wonder if this is same stuff , Time to wind their neck in .

I don’t suppose they give a toss about their image, the people they supply on the other hand might. Campaigning should concentrate on them, at the end of the day they will only fill their shelves with it once if nobody buys it....

yea thats the idea , all the posts had big pictures of asda and sainsbury's and company logos . problem is if thats your delivery means you have no choice .
Its not so much the use of polish meat (its EU after all so fair enough ) its the excuse of cutting of prices due to low demand as we keep being told , i see forfarmers have increased feed extra £10 ton as always we are caught in middle
 
That shows them to be lying. ABP are supplying the Polish to Sainsbury’s due to extra demand, ABP are just cutting their domestic kill so they can cut the price. I doubt Sainsbury’s will be happy to know they are being used as scapegoats, maybe we should be letting them know
Do they have a Twitter account? That's a nice public way of asking the question.

Have to see what whitland decide to do after the three week closure. Rumours for a longtime that carmarthen was going to close for good but this could be its lifeline and it would be a shame if it did shutdown because its a good modern set up, just needs more homebred stock through it imo
Last summer sold some 12 stores at Carmarthen mart..the cheque got lost in the post....had to beg and collect a replacement.... the original still hasn't turned up.... none of my bills go missing?

i bow to superior knowledge of guth , as he has previously said the FB report tends to up the mood with only the highs reported , its the general trend thats important
Any report does that, calf reports are worst. "BBx bull Calf makes £350" it was 6 weeks old, as per passport. Hate market reports with just the highs and no averages.
