“It’s time to buy British!”

With the state of the economy, collapse of the pound and environmental factors such as ‘food miles’, why are we buying imported goods? Fair enough, if Britain doesn’t produce those goods or the imported products are much much cheaper. But why? And which products?

This blog is about four friends who’s New Year Resolution is to buy British wherever possible from now onwards. We’re going to see how easy or otherwise it is to buy British during our everyday lives. Many stories will be food related, because we obviously buy that a lot, but we’ll also see what happens when we need to buy other stuff.

Cost will also be an important factor because we’re tight, erm…I mean ‘price sensitive’. Seriously, it’s important to know, not only which British products are available, but how the price compares to foreign alternatives. For instance, if I need a washing machine, and I can buy a non-British brand much much cheaper, then I’d probably buy that one. Well, at least you know we’ll tell it like it is!
