Nothing yet limiting me from doing things, but starting to find some products taking longer to source and/or prices seem to have jumped.

I get the feeling some firms have increased their prices due in the main to shortage of stock and increases further back the supply chain.

Think putting it on some to shove prices up too?
Bookers allegedly (Tesco owned) doing retail veg not wholesale as saying demands from ,restaurants, pubs etc dried up ?? But same amount of people out there,,just different ways of buying or feeding them.
Retail prices more expensive than wholesale?
So what's TRUE STORY???

Bought some disposable nitrile gloves yesterday - if I want them now they are double the price, if I wait 3-4 weeks they are just a small increase. Happy to wait.

Antifreeze seems to have jumped quite a bit but not sure if that's related or not.

Struggling on a few hydraulic parts that need to come from Italy.

Patience. There is a single lamb where last night there were twins, there is no oil in the tractor (can't blame the fox for this one) and sparex seem to have dropped off the planet

Wearing parts, ordered 90 subsoiler points but no guarantee when they will land, now down to the last 9. Also tyres for row crops are getting harder to source than usual
