You say that, but whilst you were at work your OH has accepted a takeover bid from Interbrew and future batches of your homebrew are to be produced in a factory in Walsall.

I've just seen that Duchy Originals are now doing organic seeds! Or 'coming soon' anyway.

A range of 51 varieties, comprising 26 vegetables, 16 herbs and 9 peas and beans.

Range available in selected garden centres and online soon!

Actually from T&M - whose seeds are on the whole over priced bar loss leaders, mostly F1's and not the best germination rates. I only use them if freebies.

The beer, I think, is made by Wychwood brewery in Oxfordshire. (Hobgoblin, Brakspear et al).

Which part of it comes form Cornwall then?

That is explained here.

I had some Duchy Originals sausages last night - very average flavour with overly thick and chewy skins. our butcher's are miles better - Art of Meat in Arbury Court if anyone's interested. Will be enjoying their Italian Stallions tonight with some garden spuds and runner beans.

I thought all the British blackcurrents were bought by Ribena......... And heard a rumour that Duchy Originals were going to be bought by another firm............ (and retain their name etc - same packaging)

NoI think it was a Cornish firm - someone like Proper Cornish or something. But you know what rumours are.....dont think any Cornish firm will be taking over much in the current economic climate.
