To hell with GB, and especially with characters like you.

I dunno, don't you have real markets? Local shops? Or do you all live (or rather, merely survive) along stroads?

In my town, I can, and do, buy my veggies from the market, and I still have at least some local shops, including grocers, bakers, and butchers. I count myself lucky my local language isn't English.
Do you buy much online?

No. And yes, supporting local shops is one of the reasons. (Another is that I do not trust Amazon et al. Another is that I can be picky about some things - I would not mind if my wholemeal bread with sesame seeds were replaced by one with flaked wheat, but if I specifically need ripe gorgonzola for a recipe, Danablu is not acceptable, nor even unripe gorgonzola.)
