    There are a lot of farm shops around my way, these get their supplies direct from the farms and prices are very seasonal and elastic. Always have been. While Tescos have empty shelves they are fully stocked.

    As usual, the media are the problem. Always got an angle to sell and the truth be damned.

      “The media” as you call it are running stories about “Tescos have empty shelves”, which you say is true.
      Why is “the media” the problem, if they are reporting the truth?

        The "media" are reporting that supermarkets can't get stock but small suppliers have stock as the supermarkets are profiteering.

        Don't tell me you haven't bothered to read the thread without telling me you haven't bothered to read the thread.......

          In one part of the UK, it's not all supermarkets that are in short supply but only those who are supplied from their English warehouses. Dole seem to have little issue with stock and getting it to the shelves in Northern Ireland. I wonder why that is?
