the far east, Vietnam etc. I'm very picky about where what we eat comes from.
My Aldi chicken has a label that says 100% British, or are you suggesting that the chicken is from Vietnam and its only the stick on label that has been printed in the UK.
All of Aldis meat comes from a little small-holding called Ashfield Farm
The cheap red wine is very drinkable, and the tomatoes are the best I've tasted for ages
M&S salmon comes from Loch Muir, which stretches from Orkney to Shetland and possibly takes in Arbroath as well.
Oakham chicken comes from Norfolk and Suffolk, not the West Midlands.

Rutland's county town is in the East Midlands.
Chris
and Surrey's is in Greater London.
What is/was Surrey's county town?
I think he's referring to Kingston which is correct on both counts as Surrey County Council is still HQ'd there even though it is now outside Surrey.
Many consider Guildford to be the principle town now, but I cannot find anything to back this up officially.
Only partially correct, "was" would be Guildford if you go back far enough.
See above for the reason why.

Kingston on Thames
Guildford, in which I live, is probably the principle town. Surrey CC did want to move County Hall there saome 20 years ago, but a legal challenge to their use of a particular site stopped that dead. There is now a plan to move to Woking. I've just been at a time wasting meeting in Kingston. Using public transport it took over an hour each way!
Is that back on again
It was abandoned at least 5 years ago due to lack of money
tim
you may be right. I seem to remember reading that the WWF were moving onto that site.
Guildford.
(the council is in Kingston, which is no longer in Surrey)

Jamaica?
No, she went of her own accord.

The oldies are always the best...
Yes we are!

No. She moved there of her own free will.
