RedFox Blog: Habits Die Hard!
Post 740 23/9/20
As you may now shopping has always been a chore. Many years the tradition of going down to the shop and filling up your bags and then taking it home has been replaced by an updated version of ordering your shopping and then having it delivered. Now! you can go online and get your shopping delivered and not having to pack it yourself. However the corner shop has always geared itself up still with the old method of having everything on the shelfs and not noticing what is being sold. But now there is a new boy on the scene. Well not a new new boy just a business that has turned convenience shopping into an art.
And that company ? The co-op. Yes! it has now a lot of shops that offer convenience into a money spinner. They offer the same products as the big supermarkets and have introduced technology that’s in the big shops for those smaller buys that you need everyday. It stocks them because the shop knows what it sells because of the central computer base it has. And the range can keep up to date on what to stock. And! it has self serve tills like the big boys and so it to can keep track of your buys. It out buys the little shops because of the tech it uses. So go Co-op for those smaller buys.
Crop Failure.
The wheat harvest has begun its slow decline. There is very little cheer in the farming world as the unusual storms and then the very hot weather has played a part in the fall in wheat production. This is all down to climate change and one farmer knows that this failure could be a growing trend. It also could spell disaster when it comes down to a price of the daily loaf of bread. At the moment claims a farmer it will only see a very small rise but it will get even more expensive if these failures keep on coming. And with the current trends these failures could do that.
There is no worry’s at the moment as the harvest was not as poor as could be. But! the debate has started on how to tackle the change in the way wheat and other foods we eat are grown. It is very odd to discuss this as naturally the farmers are sceptic’s of climate change. But the head of the British farming Union the NFU has recognized that our climate IS changing. And that a combination of combating global warming and plant modification will bring back good yields. But we must understand the option to do nothing has gone.
