True. We used to get excellent free range chickens at the local farmers market from a small producer 5 miles from us. He charged just a little more than supermarket prices but the birds were worth it. However, he stopped doing the local markets when he worked out he could load his car, drive 100 miles down the M1 and rip off the gullible Londoners selling them at twice the price. Sadly my favourite beef farmer has just woken up to the idea too.But that's OK, coz we are all stinkingly rich
