Yes, I have bought Egremont Russet occasionally in our supermarkets BUT too often I find "Cox's apples" which are clearly not Cox's Pippins (which rattle when you shake them).
Does anyone remember "Le Crunch"? I.e. the french advert on telly some years ago. It always annoyed me that there was no British advertising response, particularly since the apple is the only fruit which grows better in England than anywhere else in the world. Then we had the gale which decimated some of the orchards which seemed to be followed by general apathy about the British apple.
