In some ways you are correct . The growing of vegetables for human consumption is something that has reduced since the c.a.p came into force . As I alluded earlier ,the area that I live in used to grow vegetables for Birds Eye at Lowestoft. peas one year, roots , carrots , parsnips the next and wheat or barley for the bread and beer after .it was called Norfolk Rotation.
Now it's mainly growing bio diesel , sugar beet and housing estates,.
The very same in Suffolk mate.
Sugar beet rules these days. Tesco and Asda stores built close to new housing estates that had one way roads built and paid for by them.
Local fruit orchards and local veggie growers have long been 'closed down' by big companies.
Lowestoft was once famous for it's smoke houses, crabs, cockles etc. As was other East Anglian ports.
East Anglian beers too.
But wankers from fuckin' Cambridge can't see further than their fuckin' stupid noses.
CANTS
I appreciate that you are a bit backward down under but just to remind you that we are now living in the 21st century and not the 19th.
There you go again, Rob, Robbie. Showing off yer stupidity and ignorance.
Selfish Cambridge self serving fool that you are.
I moved to these shores (Australia) last year. Londoner born and bred and moved to silly Suffolk when the locals wre still shitting from the trees. I know and care about the local communities that I lived amongst. East Anglia is hugely important for it's agriculture, fisheries and employment.
You, being an (almost) neast Anglian dweller, should realise the importance of the local agriculture and the farmers. Of course you do but, you probably have investments that preclude your neighbours from being more than just a supplier/worker to you and yours.
Just to add. I was home to vote LEAVE almost 2 years ago. I knew back then that it would quite probably never happen though.
Democracy my ass. Just ask the Oirish
Why don't you just decide why I voted to leave an unelected behemoth.
Fool.
