I used to work in a ‘free range’ egg farm and our eggs went to tesco. If we didn’t open the sides of the shed the eggs were classed as barn eggs if we did then ‘free range’ . About 10% of the 6000 birds left the shed during the day.
Like you MB I buy barn eggs as you’re getting the same thing for less money…unless you buy your eggs from a farm shop or similar where they have less than 100 chickens.

Here is news that Tesco's "flagship" stores now sell wine at £100 a bottle.
Perhaps this does not include Hove's, which looks more like a container ship.
That terrible building will remain as Labour's shame. |

Lidl sell a range of bags including heavy duty and a bag for frozen groceries. |

| Going a step further from battered hens, Radio 4 recently featured an interesting item on supermarket "Premium" ranges. A spokesman for Tesco claimed they used local seasonal produce in their premium range ready meals but on further questioning admitted that "seasonal" meant wherever in the world that particular item was in season. Thus "local" meant local to whichever far-flung destination where the product was currently in season! It also transpired that they used factory-farmed broiler chickens for premium range items that the consumer might reasonably expect contained organic and more kindly nurtured poultry. |

Can't wait for the follow up. 'Why do old people use banks at luchtime'?
In all seriousness though. I used to get the number 1 or 7 from the hospital into town. You can't use a buss pass before 9am, yet everyday the same woman would try to get on the bus at 8.40. Some days the driver would let her on, other days he would say 'sorry, it's against the rules to let you on the bus' - To which she'd pull a wounded face like some sort of vitim and shuffle off of the bus again.
What a twat! She knew the rules, but just did this as some sort of perverse 'sport' |

Why are pensioners clogging up the markets before 9.00 am? Probably because they've been up since 3.30 am.
If my granny was anything to go by it is up before the dawn chorus, afternoon spent napping, early night after the 9.00 o'clock news then up again at 3.30. |

| Have to disagree with the writer on canned Borlotti beans - these make very good bean and cheese burritos, but apart from that I would go along with most of the article. |

| The tinned tuna is a load of rubbish as well. Whats the point in buying a a nice fresh (and expensive) tuna steak, only to mulch it up with a fork and stick it in a pasta sauce? |

| Agreed. Fresh tuna steak is best steamed with some nice herbs or, if you want it rubbery ... grill the bugger. |

Who on earth would cook a nice piece of fresh tuna?

Edit: I just realised that those are flash disks, not actual sushi. Still, they look jolly yummy, although the USB port connector might be a bit hard to digest |

I'd just like to point out that tuna rolls are available at Greggs. They are ideal for children, adults and the elderly. In fact everyone. They are good to buy for yourself, or a colleague, or as a great gift!
The shop is conveniently placed on london road. You can access it on foot, or a mobility scooter. It has ample seating, is fully lit, and cool in the summer, yet warm in the winter.
