Food obviously. There isn't much I can do about fresh produce but

A week?? I have 72 tins of beef, haggis, chilli (I stocked up when
they were reduced). That alone should keep me alive for about month
plus, and they don't need cooking.

Ther is abosluetley no reasosn to have any interru[ption to food
supplies.


Don't worry, we'll be in the middle of a beast from the
east so the shops will be devoid of cucumbers, tomatoes,
lettuce and bread anyway :-).

Will there be a shortage of Spam (now made in Holland) ?.

In the 2nd half of 2016 there was no need for Weetabix to
increase by 15%, because it is made from home-grown cereals,
and packed in UK-made cardboard boxes, but the Chinese owners
probably wanted to maintain their profits in Chinese currency.


Some video on Twitter today which showed vegetable produce from Egypt,
Kenya, India, Peru, Mexico, plus one other from South America, I forget
which.

Of course, all these countries, being EU members, will be unable to
export to us after 29th March.


So proving the EU doesn't stop us getting stuff from where we want even
though brexiteers claim they do.
