    Just saying.

    the average brit running on beans on toast shall not worry. that thing does not expire and there is probably plenty buried around.
    if you do no buy regular chicken(the white-ish one), pick only organic vegetables and always buy fruits you will see a different story.

    I would not mind having the food the nordics have and paying slightly more but food in uk is already bad. If you add chlorinated chicken on top and imported products from all over the globe with questionable quality and a high price ... people will be annoyed.

    most of the academics are family people on 30k max and FTC, they'll vote with their feet when their contract expires.

    What’s the advice - hide under table and avoid looking directly at the blast?

    It's time they updated this and sent it out to every household.

    Tesco: Brexit ''could see people choose cheddar over brie'' - BBC News

    Brits could turn back to cheddar if the price of French cheese shoots up after a no-deal Brexit.

    Tesco's chair John Allan told the BBC that import taxes could push up the price of brie by as much as 40%.

    I used to have to drive past the factory in Bonn on the way to work. Divine smell.

    I would imagine there are tulip loads stacked up by the Danish border.

    I have a few kg’s I would like to shed, eating frugally might actually help.
    Tesco are stockpiling. Hyperinflation is ludicrous.

    It's not just price hikes, but a lack of supply while everyone tries to figure what is going on.
