QuoteFortnum & Mason has been the royal grocer for more than 150 years, but the top food emporium has been forced to make a grovelling apology to the Queen after it was exposed for wrongly claiming to sell meat from Her Majesty's farms.

This column discovered that the Windsor estate stopped supplying lamb, pork and bacon to Fortnum's in August after being constantly 'bullied' into cutting its prices.

However, the expensive grocer in London's Piccadilly then began sourcing its pork and bacon from elsewhere in the country while its labels falsely claimed that the produce still came from the Royal Farms.
......
A Royal Farms source says it decided to end its decade-long relationship with Fortnum's after the grocer began bullying its suppliers by rounding down the prices it paid for pork, bacon and lamb. Fortnum's spent an annual £300,000 on Royal Farms pigs alone, receiving deliveries of fresh meat six times a week.

Quick to apologize to the Queen first but not to the victims of their fraudulent conduct.  :Lothwen:
"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'." Diana Vreeland.
