Yesterday I went for a drive through the Cotswolds. We stopped in
Chipping Camden, a magnet for tourists, full of little cottages and
narrow streets, and the sort of place you don't expect to find many
Labour voters. Yet a quick visit to a couple of high-street
'mini-markets' showed all loose produce showing prices 'per kg' -
ONLY. Not a lb anywhere!
