Well done Waitrose…

From an article in the Grocer.
He added: “If the nation embraces the product and shows their support for English fruit farmers, then we’ll consider launching a series of English conserves in the near future.”
The 454g jars, available in Waitrose now, have labels inspired by the St George’s Cross to flag up their “100% English” credentials.
I for one will be making a special trip to embrace this product!

An interesting article on Wales Online trumpeting Tesco’s commitment to offering local produce (are they an advertiser by any chance?)
Here’s an extract with a highlight added:
With interest in “buying local” growing stronger, Tesco is to make it even easier for customers to identify the provenance of their food with new packaging covering produce, meat, dairy, chilled, frozen and bakery items.
It will include the flag of the country of origin and in many cases the name of the county. With some produce and dairy items there will also be information on the grower and producer.
Tesco also works with local suppliers at major food events across the UK and the teams are looking for even more producers, especially in English regions that may lack the strong national identity found in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Fascinating stuff. What flag for the “English regions” eh? Please read the whole article and feel free to leave a comment.
And should you feel inclined to remind Tesco that people in England also have a strong national identity, here’s how.
