Why 'Eggs is Eggs' ?

A simple saying used often by the late Joseph Simpson, one of the nicest men to walk this planet.
I can picture him now heading towards the car, flat cap lifted from head and flung onto passenger seat as he climbed into the car. The fact that his wife Isabel, my grandma, was sat in the seat made little difference.
"No eggs, the fox has been a visiting during the night. We'll have to get over to Ovington to get some". It just knew the fox and grandad would continue this battle for many a year.
"Why not just go home Joe, we'll get eggs from the shop". Oh little did we know how that question would haunt us.
"Go to the shop" shock horror...."free range is the only egg. EGGS IS EGGS".

...and boy, has that saying stuck.
