Mine is always from within a 3 mile radius.
Unless I can't be bothered to go to that Tesco, then I get it delivered.

Your not supposed to know.

I do not believe you buy your stuff from the supermarket?
Surely it's sourced from (insert X girlfriend) mum/dad/uncle/girlfriends cousins horses trainers jokey?
So you can make some gourmet meal.
Can't do that with a jar of ASDA(s for the retards) smart price sauce.

Odd occasion used to get q sack of spuds and other veg from a guy at work who's dads, brothers, newphew used to work on a farm, it was nice but generally 100% comes from a supermarket. However in fields behind my parents house they grow spuds for McCain so oven chips etc are technically local.

Eggs and honey are local, as is chicken and occasional steak. The rest is Asda/Sainsbury/Tesco finest

However I do know as the farm shop and small holding is owned by a family friend and the fishmongers is on the Fish Quay at North Shields where you can actually see them stocking the shop direct form the boats if you're there early enough

Only thing there's any effort in getting locally is eggs.
Wee brother works on a farm and brings them home.

Usually just get meat from the local butcher, but thats only because it tastes better and is fresher, rest is bought from the supermarket for ease.

I go to my parents in the countryside most weeks to steal loads of eggs as they have chickens. They always have a good stock of homemade suasages / burgers from the farm next door do I always help myself to a good batch of these.
