A lot of people believe that provenance is a very important thing. No more so than in the food and drink sector. That’s why other countries fight so hard to stop rivals stealing their unique food and drink heritage. Put simply their argument is ”if it’s not made here its not the genuine article”. So what a spectacularly sad day it was when Scottish & Newcastle announced yesterday that it is shifting production to Tadcaster, North Yorkshire.
Some drinkers have already vowed to boycott the world-famous brand. I think I’ll just get some in while I still know it’s the real thing.
