Only enough fruit for 1 in 10.

Looks like I can't have my world famous Three Lettuce Salad for tea.

The answer is to shop local if you can. If there was a shortage then my local farm shop and the market stalls in town would be empty but they're always full of stuff.

The supermarkets are constraining their stock because they import as cheaply as possible and costs are increasing. If the supermarkets have to spend more due to rising costs then they'll buy less to still make more profit.

They'd rather have empty shelves than risk losing that profit in excess which ensures the shelves stay full. They've put most prices up far beyond inflation anyway so they're absolutely quids in.

So yeah we can all blame events like Brexit and get into politics but a good question is how did Tesco double their profits last year to £2.5bn if they have nothing to sell?

'Farm Shops' around here are like expensive supermarkets in a sort of a rustic style.

The sort that Range Rover drivers frequent. Definitely no bargains to be found.

I'm still getting my five a day but that's enough about masturbation, let's get back to fruit.

Step 2: All the farms that can't get East European labour any more open up as Pick-Your-Own.
