Re: UHT Milk
Who can remember the days when the role of Accington's favourite supplier of emulsified fats was something different than it is now? In fact, way before the ASDA on Hyndburn Road, the firm was up behind Melbourne Street in it's original core business - that of a dairy. ASDA is in fact, short for Associated Dairies. And the ASDA dairy was not the only one in the town - there was the Co-Op dairy up Ossy. There may even have been more.
The problem is that successive Tory and Labour governments have kow-towed to our common market chums, who, with massive subsidies have gained access to the UK liquid milk market; the old Milk Marketing Board has long been abolished and prices are now determined by the Supercrapmarkets. Milk is now shipped and trucked in from abroad and all around the country and it is that which is the cause of the carbon footprint - it certainly has nowt to do with fridges.
For once, Jambutty is right when it comes to crackpots.
