On Sky news this morning they had an item on ordinary folk stockpiling food in readiness for supply problems after 29th March. It was dried and tinned goods they were buying. Pasta, rice, tinned tuna. I can see problems for a while with fresh produce like lettuces, tomatoes and other salad stuff held up in the inevitable queues at Calais caused by officialdom/ yellow jackets/striking French farmers/bloody mindedness (delete as appropriate)

more Project Fear?
sensible?

Does anyone on the forum know someone stockpiling foodstuffs because of Brexit?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Brexit has been a total cluster f*ck but we'll be fine.

No, not personally......but I did hear an old woman in the supermarket moaning that brexit would be worse than the blitz.

Either way it is processed crap.

I survived the millennium bug ,plaster shortage etc because I was prepared

For a price, Lizzie.

Do we still owe money borrowed from the US during WW2?.........

I was thinking about this the other day when I was in Tesco's, so started looking at where stuff comes from. 

While it's true that a lot of produce like salads do come from the EU, there was a substantial amount of fresh meat and veg from UK producers and also from the rest of the world. 

I found veggies from Kenya, Peru and Ghana, fruit from South Africa and New Zealand, fish from Vietnam, corned beef from Brazil and wine from Australia, New Zealand, Chile and the USA.  That was from a quick one man cursory survey. 

When I was a kid we only ate salad in the summer, so if it all ends up rotting in the poly tunnels of Andalucia due to the incompetence of politicians on both sides of the channel, I think we'll survive.

Do we still owe money borrowed from the US during WW2?.........

Apparently we made the final payment of £45.5 million to the USA on 31st December 2005.

I doubt the interest rate was particularly favourable despite the so called 'special relationship'
