It's unbelieveable what they are doing, we have something that is perfect and we enjoy using it and they take it and ruin it and turn it into something half as good which isn't good especially when they don't offer fresh and they charge that price for tinned. That's shocking!

I have to go about 2 mile away for Supermarket but i do mind there being a butcher, fruit, veg etc here, the butchers is now some daft nail salon & the fruit n veg is the wardens office i think. we got a co-op, a chemist & a PO, the rest are nout much.
I live in Sauchie nr Alloa
You could grow yer own veg ? Then start a food bank type of thing ?
