[QUOTE="JockCroft, post: 9050096, member: 166068"] Time will see Supermarkets change. At least two are seriously considering closing large stores that are problematicle due to unprofitability. An interesting aside, in conversation with a Haulier, New Tractor units are about 4 tonnes heavier than 20 year old models. Take number of units on the road and multiply that by 4 tonnes of unnessesary tonnage being lugged around the country producing Co2. The "Consumer" changes all the time. Farming in general produces a raw material, which has to be transported and processed before being sold to the consumer. It's only a couple of generations since enough food was a concern to the consumer, now most seem to consider it a right that should not need to pay for. That may change, but probably not in our lifetime. BigBis will adapt and continue to profit greatly from a public that will change to match their perception of what is right. Much of UK environment is well bggrd, so their will be a great financial cost to make improvements. Sewage alone. Does the State lead? Or does it follow at the behest of Business? [/QUOTE]
