A song about consumerism...about selling out your values...which loosely connects the entire Selling England album.
"Take the Safe Way Home...Thankful for her Fine Fare discount, Tess Co-Operates"....Safeway, Fine Fare, Tesco and the Co-Op all were/are supermarkets in the UK. Although they had been around 20 years, it was the early to mid 70s that saw the British supermarkets take over from the independent butchers and greengrocers, who might well have been selling English ribs of beef of the highest quality....but the supermarket had conveniently packaged beef cheaper.
