Mrs R and I have just got back from our weekly grocery shop. If anyone is desperate for tomatoes Sainsburys Stafford have plenty.  Morrisons here has a whole 20 foot set of shelves for different types of tomato and pepper but there is not a single item on it.It has been like that for weeks, and no explanation either. |

I think the veggie shortage is in the foreign ones like Aldi and Lidl no shortages this morning in my local British supermarket.

Apparently its due to adverse weather conditions in Southern Europe and Morocco. So not Brexit....... Climate change 😁Though Germany says they have no shortages, so errrmmmm.... Brexit? Due to the high cost of (Renewable) energy Dutch tomato growers who supply many supermarkets in Europe are currently growing just 10% of what they were growing this time last year because they cant afford to switch greenhouse heaters on. [Discussion with National Farmers Union rep on Times Radio last night] F off. Energy is pricey because of Putin's war and gas prices, I have told you this several times and you are now officially stupid. |

Just been watching the news and laughably Therese Coffey in the commons saying we should be eating seasonal veg now such as a turnip.
Yes Therese that’s what I’ve always fancied sod tomato you can’t beat a grilled turnip with your full english.

How we miss them. 😅 😂 🤣 |

Brussel sprouts are disgusting bitter hard little vegetables that people tried to convince us were nice when there was nothing else. I remember my Nan storing apples and us eating them in January all wrinkly. That was in the late 1800's 😅 |

Sprouts are a champion vegetable with lots of goodness for your vitamins etc and lots of help to your digestion. Not so good on the personal popularity front though. |

Good idea, maybe the Remnants with way too much time on their hands could get out there and pick them for coin. |
