I agree with you Meg the only reason i use Sainsburys is because i do find it much better than the other main supermarkets, you do however pay almost double for the best cuts but that doesn't bother e as long as i get good quality meat, i would like to think they supply better than the rest but i may be wrong.
Our local butcher on the other hand from my experience, had failed to supply me with good meat (mainly beef) so i have given up trying, i suppose you get bad butchers and bad ones though.

Re: Beef joints what cut do you buy ?
We don't eat much beef these days, in fact, hardly any unless we eat out. I used to go to a farm shop who sold excellent quality beef and get a hindquarter, with the fillet included, and freeze it. Far too much for us these days though, so if we have roast beef at all (and it's always a treat) I usually ask for a piece of fillet or sirloin, from the butcher, cut to whatever thickness I want. A six inch thick piece (which is the minimum to roast, I think) can be seasoned and roasted very quickly. (I also like it pink - red even). We only have it on special occasions (perhaps twice a year) because it is horrendously expensive and we really prefer fishy meals these days to beef.
