Have the government not made security of supply arrangements for toys? What a useless bunch!

Once upon a time, a lump of coal was substituted for toys or presents, in certain circumstances.
This there won‘t even be coal….

the way things go in farming, maybe should have a minus sign in front. We produce more and more and get less and less return. No, I doubt he's talking about more than a few years but food for thought.

Oh dear the one with Cranberries. Shame. Like Xmas when we get all these 'novelty' cheeses contaminated with various fruit and veg which folk (for which read my wife) get as 'something special for Xmas' that then spoils January and most of February as I have to clear out the fridge until SPring arrives and I can purchase 'unadulterated' cheese. Heavens last Xmas she even bought a Stilton which had some fruit mixed into it. I stood in the Kitchen and burst into tears.

Indeed Charlie, indeed. I was in Morrisons last Sunday and noted in the deli these adulterated specimens. I can just but hope Mrs Y hasn’t succumbed!

Mind, I’m sure this thread will turn into a discussion about bras

Good news for French producers then

I'm sure Daylesford could have delivered

Yeh they’d have smashed the border with a big yellow digger! If you get it, you get!

I’m minded to question “how much food is really wasted? I mean Christmas is lemming time where folk buy excess food just because shops are shut for 1 day? How much of this extra food gets turfed out before New Year’s Eve??

Heinz need to get back to putting more beans and less gloop in their tins.
