[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7469985, member: 946"] True but it's not actually that far if the farm was in the south of England. 50+ years ago we often ran short of things. Many seed spuds are grown up in Scotland and transported down to southern growers. I remember around 2000 it was to wet for almost everyone in the UK to dig spuds, so some plants were hauling in from northern France. Otherwise the factories would have run short. It's not that far, if you ignore the stretch of water. Not much different than the North and South Islands of NZ Efficient transport has led to some silly situations but it has also increased the area people can sell their goods in. [/QUOTE]
