I am not a great one for conspiricy theories but yogurt - of all things - got me thinking once! I was living in Belgium at the time and noticed that a huge portion of the Yogurt on the supermarket shelves was made in England. When I got back home to the UK I checked out the local supermarket and, true to what I remembered, most of the Yogurt was made in France. Now, it didn't make sense to me at all to have all that rancid cow juice (I do like it btw - but remember that is all it is - not a particulary important commodity) shipped all over Europe. The lorries carting the cream of Kent must have been passing the camions lugging the latins of Loire in the chunnel! Why?

Unless of course it was to keep the petrol companies going;-)
