Well I never!

Did you know we had a Groceries Code Adjudicator?  This is a government officer whose job is to keep an eye on supermarkets and stamp out any "sharp practice".  I don't know how long she has been in post, but among her recent findings are that supermarkets charge suppliers for preferential treatment such as displaying their products in the most favourable positions.  Well "Duh - Queen Victoria's dead" as we used to say.  I think I've mentioned before that some 40-odd years ago my wife had a part-time job which involved visiting local supermarkets, and certainly, according to her, this was common practice back then.  Little changes. it seems.
