AIUI local authorities now (or soon will) have to have licences to run community composting operations. ISTR that proposed licences were reckoned to cost around seven hundred quid per annum. That should squash a good few good intentions.
Where? When? Chookie'd think she'd gone to heaven.
(Jane:)Maybe we could start a campaign to get smkts to provide paper
Don't know about comparive manufacture but WI figures recently said that there was a much higher proportion of recycled paper which ended up as something useful (usually paper) than of recycled plastic. I'll try to dig out where they got their figures.
(Jane again - must get my attribution snipping right!)
That's interesting. Mind you, it depends on whether they want you for a customer or not; A's suppliers presumably want him (or they want his employer, to be exact); whether smkt want me (v. limited range customer) enough would probably depend on how many of "me" there were.
Yes. I keep forgetting we're lucky here in Devon. Our fresh stuff is superb and we have individual shops in our area stocking and promoting local in addition to regular farmers markets. Things are probably not as good elsewhere.
What keeps you in E.Anglia?
What's wrong with the sausages? Have you spoken to the butchers? Ours would listen, I'm sure; whether they would do anything would obviously depend on whether they think your preference would sell. Have you got much freezer capacity? Butcher might make a batch if you could take a reasoanable amount.
Packaging 569The Reid Sorry, ......... it was that you said the butcher uses his odds and ends to make bangers. No, no...
Cheers Jane
