I love Neil Oliver - his monologues are really good. The title of this one caught my eye ..... good thing we ‘Garden threaders’ can grow our own and not just tomatoes!
Neil Oliver, “What the Hell – We’re Rationing Tomatoes”…

There IS rationing in the UK:
Tesco and Aldi Join Grocers Rationing Fruit and Vegetable Sales in UK

“Tesco Plc has joined discounter Aldi in limiting purchases of some fruit and vegetables in the UK after difficult harvests due to cold weather in southern Spain and north Africa.
Both retailers are capping purchases of peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes to three units per person. The moves follow Morrisons which has a limit of two products and Asda with a restriction of three.”
Looks like there will be a developing ‘Black Market’ in the UK for tomatoes, cukes and peppers! ;)
