Prince Charles Get The Sack From Sainsbury’s
The heir to Britain's throne certainly knows his onions, but he's in strife because of his carrots. The Prince of Wales has been dropped by Sainsbury's as a supplier because it says his organic vegetables do not meet the right standards. Sainsbury's cited "quality issues" with the carrots from Highgrove. A Clarence House spokeswoman said there were "difficulties relating to packing, distribution and storage".
FOOTNOTE: He might blame Judas’s Carrot.

Poor Charlie, perhaps he can top up his income by becoming a bag-packer for them..
Seriously, it is so sad that everything now has to conform to a certain shape and size. So many great varieties of fruit and veg are dying out now. Sometimes a great taste is sacrificed for a great look. It's mad.
Hi Carol,
Ah yes, I can just picture the heir to the throne with apron, wellies and gloves.
Good on him, I say, for showing green awareness and commitment long before it became fashionable.
Cheers
David
Judas's Carrot? groan.... hee hee
They dropped a little Welsh Organic farmer, too.
The problem was that Sainsbury's packing and distribution is done at a place in Norfolk. So this farmer's produce was being driven right across England up to Norfolk, packed, then driven back to Wales to be sold as "local organic produce". So people were buying it, thinking "Hey this is better for the environment- organic AND local".
D'oh!
Silly!

Judas's carrot! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaahahahahaha!!

Carrots? I thought royalty did not eat root vegetables. That those were only for common folk. Apparently times have changed.
