Tesco's and any other large supermarket buy "off auction" and secure deals with growers and even farms with exclusivity deals to stop the growers putting things through the auction.

If anyone wants to phone me for a test log-on code for my auction buying system you can see the horrific prices we are dealing with on the auction.

This kind of nonsense being spurted by ill informed people is giving the trade a bad name, we should all be trying to beat the supermarkets not fighting between ourselves.

I can go to a supermarket and buy flowers cheaper than the auction but thats just giving them even more buying power, so knock yourselves out, go on, give all your hard earned cash to them and next year they will be selling them even cheaper............

If your wholesalers are screwing you then go somewhere else but please don't tar us all with the same brush or start throwing comments like thieving bastards around when you have no idea what your talking about.

Hope you all have a great Valentines and stick it up all the supermarkets
