Whatever happened to local butchers? I hail from the Southside of Glasgow, where butchers are dropping like flies. Recent casualties include Murray’s on Victoria Road, and Tunnock’s on Pollokshaws Road – these are places you assumed had always been there, and always would be.

Specialist drinks retailers should be able to provide advice on the best wines available in your price range
Ask yourself how many local butchers you have. Unless you live in the heart of the West End or in Partick, I’ll bet this number is small, dwindling or zero. The sad truth of it is, they are dying and we are letting them. “Supermarkets”, we all exclaim, “are to blame for this”. They undercut, they aggressively expand and they aggregate specialist sales into one easy stop.
