I was alarmed when visiting my local supermarket to find runner beans from Kenya, other beans from either Tanzania or Zimbabwe and mange tout from Zambia.
I would have hoped shoppers would avoid this produce and buy British. No such luck - there was an offer on and people were stacking them into their trollies.
I chose some loose peas in their pods grown in Herefordshire.
When I got to the checkout, the young man peered into the bag and said, "What are those?"
I despair.
