[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 7550869, member: 70168"] but back in the good old days when you had wholesale markets for both animals and produce, most people bought from small independent butchers and greengroucers, who often were supplied by yet more wholesalers everyone made money through the supply chain, now the wholesale markets have nearly all gone, bussinesses that have still kept going have slimmed right down and almalgamated to servive ? When we started in the horticultural and pub trade back in the late 1970s sometimes the reps used to line up on the carpark waiting to see us ? In the pub, we had the choice of quite a range of large brewers to buy from along with many small independent trades that supplied sundries and crisps, wines, spirits beers, now nearly all those have disappeared ? gone out of business local brewers that traded for hundreds of years gone or amalamated ? oh for the good old days ?
