I managed to a pack of opal fruits(starburst)in my local sainsburys but the veg section is bit thin and no potatoesNo Marathons, Opal Fruits or Oil of Ulay.

Someone on the radio this morning said there were no problems with fruit and veg in France
Aldi also now rationing customers' purchases.
Tesco and Aldi limit sales of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers
The grocers join Asda and Morrisons in limiting sales due to shortages of certain produce.

So seems like not really any difference between them.

Took my parents to Lidl in Scarborough on the way home from a day out, ok it was 3pm on a Sunday so we expect some low stock but there was no salad at all and about 75% of the produce fixtures were empty. Did not experience shortages when I did my own food shop the Thursday previous.

No tomatoes in co-op or aldi so I went to the pricey independent shop where cherry tomatoes were £10.99 a kilo when I popped them in a paper bag and £13.99 by the time I reached the checkout. Got them for the display price tho

My local co OP had no fruit and veg at all, so went else where to look for what I wanted tesco Express had a lot but expensive and local Iceland didn't have much in apart if you want frozen veg

The way this is being reported is really quite weird imo.
eg)Tesco and Aldi join Asda and Morrisons in rationing salad ingredients
Always its a little paragraph at the end going some people also say that the reason we are effected by the moroccan weather in this way whilst other countries so far are not is because brexit means we are at the back of the tomato queue".
But thats the actual news imo. It is right now only a problem in this country.

thats pretty nuts actually. Its not anecdotal evidence that there is now rationing in several of our major supermarkets and thats not happening anywhere else in europe. Thats just a fact.

Presumably a fair bit of stuff coming into Ireland goes via the UK and will be subject to brexit-related fuckery despite the Irish people's innocence in creating that situation.

Thanks to Britain being in the way Ireland does get hit a wee bit more than other EU countries
At least they’ve bought real ferries though
