Well I'm sorry about their jobs but very pleased the 'egg production sheds' have closed!

Funny how things change, about time too, it is a shame about the jobs but there are a lot of jobs going all over the place!!!!  I remember years ago helping my friend on her parents battery farm...never liked it but it was a way the farmer could get loads of eggs with ease...attitudes now are so different and thats good!

And the rest of the EU is where our eggs will come from, cheap as you like, while our producers will go down the drain. >:( >:(

It is all about education.  Many's the time I have stood by the egg aisle in Morrisons telling people how the caged hens are kept.  It nearly ALWAYS puts them off.  I'm changing Clackmannan one box at a time ;D ;D
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
