It does if you buy the lamb on the train.

if you raised it in your garden, and despatched the carcass by train it would have a significant impact imo.

but then again, i'm no economist.

App there is going to be a plethora of organic lamb for sale as wholesalers don't want to buy it so farmers are desperate - can't say i've noticed but you never know......

The more expensive meats are now electronically tagged, after a trolley was half filled and rushed out of the door

The regional frozen food outlet up here is Farmfoods. They definitely do it. Iceland generally match them for price. I bought a frozen leg for under a tenner in Sainsbury's about a year ago.

i bought some from asda last week for £2 for 4 and noticed yesterday they had gone up to £3.68 so didnt bother getting any from there, so daughter popped to tesco's and picked a few up for £2 there.

I can't think of a single thing that I use that has gone down in price - until this morning when the bloke who sells me bird seed said sunflower hearts had gone down in price. Well, prepare for raging deflation, I said to myself.
