I try to resist OT topics but had to vent after spotting that the onion I just chopped had been grown in Australia! It's hard to comprehend how it can make economic sense to ship an onion from Oz to UK, but it must do or it wouldn't happen. What's upsetting is that the environmental cost cannot have been taken into account. I suspect historians will look back with incredulity on this period (hard to define the start date) - unless we destroy ourselves first. I feel much better now ;-) A timely spur to get the veg plot into action.
