Do you buy British where possible?

[LastNightMyPJsSavedMyLife]

Or not really bother?

I try to buy locally-grown produce, yes.

Yes I do.

I just buy the cheapest which normally isn’t British, in a money no object situation I’d love to buy local and British.

Yep. We mostly only buy seasonal fruit and veg for example.

What about manufactured goods?

Yes with regards food and drink I always try to buy British where possible even if its more expensive. I appreciate that not everyone can afford to that.

No because German tends to be better.

Foodstuffs - yes. Other things - no, I choose based on quality and how closely the product matches my wants and needs as well as my budget. For instance, my slippers are Australian because they are warm, have a cushioned sole and are made from reclaimed ocean plastic, which is important to me.

I'd love to be able to buy British but our food bill would double. I buy the best I can afford.

Hard to know what is actually British rather than been packaged in one country, parts from another.

if there was very honest labelling then I would consider it more,

food, yes always aim for local seasonal produce.

Yes for food, it's less food miles.

Today I stood there like a lemon in sainsburys wondering whether the UK greenhouse grown Thanet Earth tomatoes used less carbon than the ones flown in from Morocco. (I bought the nice uk ones).

If possible with non-food & drink, then unless it is prohibitively expensive I will.
For food and drink, yes I do - if the British version isn't available then I'll do without.

Food - yes I will always pick the uk version over imports. I buy local beef.
Everything else we try to buy locally ie from a local shop instead of ordering from the internet so we are spending money in our local economy. I appreciate most of the things we buy will be manufactured abroad though.

Food yes mostly (although 2 in my family love bananas, so obviously not for that). Also citrus fruit as I use it a lot in cooking, never seen a British lime! The lemons I’ve tried to grow at home weren’t entirely successful.

Wine only when it’s on offer. British wine is very expensive and I prefer French. But I don’t think on average the distance of coming from France weighs on me a huge amount in terms of environment. We just don’t have the terroir and climate for the type of French wines I like in the UK.

Germany for things like washing machines and cars, they’re consistently the best in reviews.

Clothes, yes for some things, but others I find difficult to get hold of, so I imagine it’s mostly made in China. Sometimes I make my own, but very rarely.

I try to buy British as much as possible. Also try to avoid any fruit and vegetables from outside Europe. I also try to eat less meat and buy organic or free range higher welfare. It's more expensive but I try to bulk out with pulses and vegetables.
