I noticed a van in the car park delivering chicken and was surprised to
see it was quite local (the store was Southgate and the van's logo gave
an address in Enfield).

Not overly surprised, most of the big supermarkets do source some of
their fresh produce fairly locally. Most of eggs and milk in Tesco,
Carlisle has a branded Scottish orgin, same for some of the veg,
potatoes and carrots spring to mind.

Carlisle as in Cumbria? If that is where you mean, I used to love their
indoor market. Is it still there and are there still the lovely fresh
produce stalls there, please?
