Lobster (and chips) dividend!

FTFY

I don't think so, but you keep believing it.

Me, I don't care. I get all that stuff without having to worry or source it from somewhere else

I don't believe anyone really cares in the UK. If today the tomatoes are from Spain, but tomorrow they are from Morocco and price is roughly the same, no one is going to notice. Same for wine, the cheapest wine is usually from Australia and South America in the supermarkets here.

Why would the price be the same between one where there's a negotiated free trade deal and one where there isn't?

So, if tomatoes go up in price by 8% (1st November - 14th May) or 14% (15th May - 31st October) is that roughly the same as today? (hint: it's not, it's an increase of between 8 and 14% depending on the time of year)

It mentions "home grown beer" - a lot of the beer yeast is imported, as is the wine and champagne yeast.

Small beer (!) though as a part of the overall cost.

How is toast and chips a meal?

Cod and chips will be back on once we stop all those foreigners ravaging our ocean floor.

I think the point is, with a no deal Brexit, the UK will have to adapt its supply chains, and will of course.

If everyone wants product of service X and this cannot be easily or cheaply sourced from the EU, other countries will step in, including the UK.

If a certain French cheese is no longer available, people will switch to an alternative that is similar.

The view that the UK population are going to instantly commit suicide because some cheese is not on the shelf is simply ludicrous.

To be honest, if this is the biggest worry about a hard Brexit, it is clearly of very low importance?

Indeed. I'm hardly worried I won't be able to eat broccoli year-round.

If anything it might encourage more seasonal eating and a less carbon-y farming footprint to rely more on local produce. This whole idea we can get everything all the time is really very modern.

Eat local for the economy and the environmental impact.
