Well clearly you haven't had the memo, we also have plenty of fruit and veg but that isn't what people on here want to read is it?

It is a fact that there is a general shortage of some fruit and vegetables, not a total absence.
It is also a fact that this is not the end of the world and normal service will soon resume.

Does anybody eat fruit and veg in Wolverhampton?

No shortage of veg here..
But yes we have no tomatoes..
Only just sowing them now.
It's unlikely that totally normal service will resume.
Whenever there are shortages of our of season veg we (the UK) will have less available , because of the extra hassle to importers caused by brexit.
We will have to pay more for it.
There will also be fewer pickers available for larger farms.
Already large growers' are planting less, of certain crops because if that.
So costs will rise - something will have to give.
.
Again because of brexit.
All this is was wholly predicted by us 'project fear' 'remoaners' and no contingencies were put in place for increasing homegrown supplies.
Of course there are other factors at play , but I think the whole 'bad weather in Morocco and Southern Spain' as a cause was / is a bit of a red herring.
Or basically a lie.
However, climate change and more extreme weather events are increasingly going to affect us as farmers and growers, globally..
The true cost and impacts of food production hasn't really been accounted for for decades.
That's going to have to change if we're going to eat well in the future.

It will be the new normal.
And the new normality may well be different from past normality.
That is what the people voted for, whether they knew it or not.

Indeed they did.
They were repeatedly informed of the likely consequences, and oh look here they are.
I guess they're happy enough with it all??

I've had people say to me that getting my veg boxes makes it "Like Christmas every week!!"
Which leads me to wonder what their 'actual' Christmasses are like ... 🤔
Oooh look, I spy some 'golden' turnips 🍑🍑🍑
