If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...You just know someone will say it's because of Brexit.
And yet it’s only Britain that has a shortage. A point you repeatedly ignore for some reason, as if you thought “taking back control” meant you not taking any responsibility for your idiotic political choices.If this was the only planet on earth, we'd have to go without tomatoes in the winter...nature isn't into "I want it all year round"
Because it is. Your complete lack of understanding of how the single market and customs union work doesn’t change that fact.You just know someone will say it's because of Brexit.
Or spring onions?Re scallions , I love a scallion on the side with a cheese and chicken toastie

It's specific items.. stuff from Spain seems to be the main itemWas in Asda last night, no rationing of fruit or veg noticed. There were a few gaps on the shelves though.
No problems in our local greengrocers, plenty tomatoes and peppers there, so I have to wonder if its a bit like the “egg shortage” where its more a case of the price going up a bit and the supermarkets not wanting to pay any more for them.
UK growers don't knock out many tomatoes this time.of year... Too expensive to heat the greenhouses and not enough natural light . I live next to some of the largest glasshouses in the countryIt's a short term problem caused by a shortfall from UK growers, so they aren't going to blow up their existing supply chains to fix it. Pre Brexit they would have imported more to cover the gap, post Brexit that isn't really possible.

And Ireland which last time I checked is in the EU and the Musgrave Group is definitely reporting issues.
This has nothing to do with Brexit and is why every reputable source is reporting exactly that. The only people reporting that is nobodies on Twitter yet it's funny people people usually get mocked for doing exactly that.
It's very much more likely the supermarkets don't want to pay the price because of the shortages and hence they're getting no supply. This was the prices last week. Not to mention some of the European supermarkets in particular Carrefour is based in Spain so will have a distribution network there.

Yes, it is.
Pre Brexit they would have rearranged their supply chains and diverted resource to do the Algeciras/Valencia runs and solved this in a couple of days. Can't do that now without huge costs and hassle, and that's if you can find anyone willing to do it, so they won't bother.
It's a very confused goose.If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
