Some years ago a supermarket was selling Braz beef, sent them a rocket complaining as we have the world's best beef in Scotland, they never tried that one again!
Subsequently heard that lots of folk had complained in-store too!

And all the European agriculture is fully subsidized, first remove it and we can start talking about rules and fair trade.
