Will work fine for cabbages and sprouts, orange's and lemons I'm not so sure. Selection is bound to suffer.
We were talking to a wine negociant at Christmas, he reckons lead times on South American, Australian and Californian wines are now 6 months into the uk, the shippers will not send to UK direct but are putting them through Spain and Germany.
Cheers.

Seems like we will be living on cold turkey, sprouts & beer for a while, could be worse.

Brian what world do you live in!? When Waitrose cannot supply the Meditteranean fruit and veg all hell will break loose. These folk will not be interested in sprouts and cabbage. You are suggesting our cosmopolitan friends wish to move to a Soviet style 1970s diet. And that my friend they do not and Good 'ole Boris will soon find out. Nice try! Anyway seems Spanish Lettuce still arriving and there were plenty of the usual Spanish fridge trucks ambling around Spalding earlier today.
