Going to your usual beef butcher to get your regular 28 day hung oranic Dexter beef to be told that we close for good next week. They've been on site 70 years and struggled through this year and cannot sustain it any more. He was tellng me how can they compete, when last Christmas the likes of Tesco, Sainsburys, Asdas etc were selling legs of lamb for £8, and they were paying  £13 - £14 for them at the market...

A glimmer of light on the horizon though, he has a job with another butcher which he recommends, so I will give them a try
