This is a definite concern, even if the virus is over by then. Currently there aren't any interruptions to the food supply, the only reason the shelves are empty is because peoples buying habits have changed. After the transition period is over, there will be interruptions to the food supply. The large retailers have been warning about this but they were dismissed as Remoaners/Project Fear.

I think the supermarket situation now is a prelude to what we may see for the early months of 2021 and even when things adjust and settle down, we will be in a new era of a more limited range, higher prices and a lot of things being difficult to source consistently. The difference is the current shortages are more focused on non-perishables. The biggest hits to supply after the end of the transition period will be on perishables: fresh fruit and veg, meat and dairy.

Of course the government will give the line "we have robust food supply lines" before it happens and afterwards they won't want it to be associated with Brexit so will probably blame it on difficulties following the long-run impacts of the virus.

And funnily enough, it doesn't include hedge fund managers, city traders or corporate financiers.

Would you boil or roast barbed wire?

Stew it with some rhubarb and serve it with vanilla custard to take the edge off the sharpness.

Thanks for the recipe and instructions.
I might just try microwaving seeing as I'm inhaling copious amounts of herbal remedy during my solo lockdown....... Not a lot else to do.
Off to put my pinny on and I'll let you know how it turns out.

Keep up with the programme mate.
I was, earlier in the week.

Ah right, am I now meant to have sympathy because you are sat at home in your underpants smoking weed?

I think it might destroy me if you decide to withdraw your sympathy.
