Should we Buy only British to help our country ?

I started collecting the tokens for that but then realised that it didn't cover the main summer school holiday which is when we typically take our summer holiday.

The offer stopped the same week the kids break up and schools don't take kindly to parents taking their children out of school during term time. The rest of the time it covers I have no problem with as I can just borrow my parents van for a few days (usually with them there).

Must admit I am sorely tempted to go back to our old holiday time of the first two weeks of July, you can get 2 weeks for less than the price of one week in the school holidays, even with paying a fine, it still works out damned cheaper!

Have been in the market for some new 'everyday' plates and bowls for some time, as our current set has been depleted by breakages and teenagers hiding the rest in their rooms. I have looked in Wilkos, 75p for a teaplate, but put off buying until today, wheeling the trolley round Tesco. Stopped to look at what they had to offer, and in amongst their usual fare was a 4 place setting made by Denby in ENGLAND. Now the teaplates are available separately at £3.91 each. But what the hell I bought British, hang the expense.


Driving home I came to the conclusion that we are all inherently lazy, and that is wjat the supermarkets base their (sucessful) model on, and as such it is no longer a case of what we the consumer want, but what they, the supermarkets deem we should have
