	Supermarkets in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The UK supermarket sector is dominated by Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's, which are the only chains which operate full-scale superstores of 40,000 square feet (3,700 m²) or more.
		They are all fully national; there are no regional supermarket chains left in the United Kingdom which operate superstores, just a few small ones which operate smaller stores.
		Marks and Spencer and Waitrose are the most upmarket national supermarket chains (although the former is also the UK's largest clothing retailer, and is often not perceived as a supermarket at all).

	UNITED KINGDOM
		In the United Kingdom, the organic market accounts, on average, for about 1 percent of the total food market, although this share varies across sectors (tending to be highest for baby food, then fruit and vegetables and lowest in livestock/meat products).
		The United Kingdom market for organic fruit and vegetables was valued at about UK£165 million (at retail level) in 1999 (source: Datamonitor) although it is likely that it was significantly higher than this at the end of 2000.
		In the United Kingdom, by contrast, organic farmers and growers have had to sell direct to the public (in farm shops and the now rapidly developing and popular farmers markets), or have developed links with a relatively small number of wholesalers and the small number of supermarket chains.

		Nevertheless, it is perfectly legal — and common — to drive left-hand-drive vehicles in the UK (and Ireland, etc.) and right-hand-drive vehicles in continental Europe; you'll simply need a trusted passenger next to you to serve as your eyes when you attempt to overtake vehicles.

		The OFT said there were also wider concerns about the growth of supermarkets in particular: the consequences of the acquisition of convenience stores by supermarkets; the growth of supermarkets' sales in non-food items; and the effect of below-cost selling and price-flexing by supermarkets.
