A-Z Of Farms

...or the Tractor Boys - modern nickname of Ipswich Town. They are also called "The Dustbinmen" (amongst other things! ) by many Norwich City fans, because of a tv documentary series about refuse collection in Ipswich (which I don't recall ever seeing).

U Underground farms. For most people, mushroom farming would possibly come to mind , but there are now underground farms which grow salad. A well-known one is "Growing underground", which is 33 metres below the pavement in Clapham , London, in a disused deep WW2 air-raid shelter. Very eco-friendly - could be a sign of things to come. Supplies fresh salad straight to central London.
