A town called indifference chickens out of taking a stand
Watching last week’s final instalment of Hugh’s Chicken Run, I had to wonder if the residents of the town of Axminster had any idea of the image they were presenting of themselves and their town. Probably not. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall managed to increase the town’s consumption of free range chicken to 60% of one week’s total chicken sales, but I doubt the percentage would have been anywhere near the same just one week later, let alone a month or a year on.
