READERS have praised Pete Clark, who runs the fruit and veg stall in Barrow Market, for his demeanour and his excellent produce. 

Pete reported that he had full shelves at a time when supermarkets were putting limits due to not being able to get produce in. 

Often this is because the supermarkets import fruit and veg from other parts of Europe and even from Africa. 

For Pete - his veg is as local as Ormskirk and Preston.
