Guest DissipatedYouthIsValuable Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Obviously, with work, I trawl round endless different shops. I'II go into Asda in Merthyr Tydfil and be disgusted by the chaviness of it all but, similarly, I'II go into Waitrose in some lah-di-dah area and find it, in contrast, nauseatingly middle class. I don't like anyone either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor_Broom Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Another BBC Link As a general rule of thumb, farmers get f*+k all, processors such as DFoB get a tiny bit more than f*+k all and the supermarkets get the rest. Whilst selling to the public as a loss leader. Average milk price paid to farmers is 24.37p/litre. The milk I bought the other day was 67.34/litre http://www.fwi.co.uk/gr/milkpricestable.pdf http://www.defra.gov.uk/foodrin/milk/pdf/g...lmilksupply.htm There was a report showing the full breakdown if I can find it. Also, I think the cost of production last year was around 28p/litre. Due to rising input costs such as fuel, fertilizer and feed costs.

tomandlu Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 You should avoid falling into the trap of hating everybody. No - hating everybody removes the taint of discrimination, and is easier. It's a win-win. For the record, Sainsbury's in Tooting has a good blend of customers (and whoever is in control of the sound-system deserves a bonus - Flaming Lips singing "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" at lunch today, followed by "Ballad of a Thin-man" - woo-hoo!).

the end is a bit nigher Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 A couple of years out of date but:http://www.rabdf.co.uk/DynamicContent/Docu...rice%202007.pdf Page 11 - Min. price required 21.32p/litre. Farmer gets paid 17.90p/litre. Yeah. Basically the supermarkets say what they will pay and if the farmers can't make a profit from that then they go bust. End of.

Long Way Down Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Average milk price paid to farmers is 24.37p/litre.Also, I think the cost of production last year was around 28p/litre. Due to rising input costs such as fuel, fertilizer and feed costs. Only way they stay in business is due to the Single Payment Scheme.
