Shipping Forecast.................Farming today...........British Farmers abide by animal welfare rules.......
Danish Farmers do not....they ``restrict``pregnant sow pigs for 15 weeks in one pig cages....that`s `torture`.............
.........now buying British bacon.

Take care, Reg, British on the bacon label merely means it was processed and packed in Britain. Most of the pigs still come from Denmark and the Netherlands. As a result proper British-raised bacon is hard to find and quite expensive. But you've got space on your estate for a few piggies, haven't you?

# 2......management informs me Morrisons sell British bacon...label says produced in the UK from British Pork....does
that pass muster?..............only 20p more than Danish.It comes in thicker rashers and no water content.
Morrisons also produce quality croissant ....better than Tescos and all in Dover town centre......can`t be bad..........

just look at the local area -wheres morrison's presently are positioned.
tesco's will survive purely because they have a wider catchement area
