I sometimes wonder why we can buy reasonably decent strawberries up until a few weeks before Christmas (OK, not fantastic, but at least they're nice small ones and taste of strawberries), then suddenly the shops switch to the large, dark red tasteless ones that I refuse to buy. Someone must buy them though, or the supermarkets wouldn't bother importing them.

Check where they are coming from you can get British ones well into November. So possibly those dark red ones are coming from a lot further away than the others.
