    I have to say I just had a very emotional moment drinking a cup of ringtons coffee.... they gave me it free and I just had this feeling of sorrow for the company. everyone should be buying ringtons instead of worrying about Brexit why don't you actually start buying some british products instead of drinking litres of starbucks who don't even pay their ****in taxes

    We still get a delivery as does my mother. Best tea there is. My mother even buys some of tatty ****e or biscuits they carry round in their vans. I was just thinking about this. We should support great companies like this instead of being seduced by the big supermarkets and their rock bottom prices. I think we could get away from it with more specialisation in shops for certain items. Quality will overcome the corporate guff. I've had a few ideas:

    Butchers - this will be a place you can buy fresh cuts of meat from
    Fishmongers - clues in the name, get your fresh fish here
    Fruit and Veg store - again I've kept this simple with the name...

    If we need a one stop shop, it should be kept small and we'll call them Convenience Stores.

    Even better, what about if we put all of those specialised things under one roof, in the same place? Throw in some clothes, toys and electrical goods. A place to park, of course, so we can help the environ-mentalists by not racking up the petrol-fuelled miles. We could create some kind of "mega" store. A really "super" market, if you will.

    Hmm I'm not keen on that idea. I was thinking about restricting these to local front streets because then people could access them by foot and actually interact with each other. Well provided then can look up from their mobile.

    Lets all start getting our milk delivered by the milkman again in glass bottles, support local milkmen as well as reducing the amount of plastic milkbottles floating about in the great barrier reef !

    My coffee is sourced from organic farmers wherever our geologists are working and brewed by a bloke called Yono. He makes a mean cappuccino.

    Never heard of ringtons - I thought this was a thread about that noise your phone makes when someone calls you and Chaos had ****ed up the spelling again.

    Even though I'm from Lancashire (Liverpool was in Lancashire when I was born), you can't beat Yorkshire tea <ok>

    Yorkshire Gold is the best, Clipper Gold a close second.
