@Sheril @elisegravel I'm not keen on plate 4 but can't articulate why very well. Otherwise, it hits the nail on the head.
@RickBamford is there a citation for that?
@Remittancegirl @chrisnoessel @cstross I'm not even sure it's a washing machine. All I can conclude is that it does something with clothes (and baby bottles, and maybe rocks)

i don't think they're saying that. Europeans and their supermarkets are happy for the prices to vary seasonally so though the shelves are full, prices are up. UK supermarkets won't to pay the higher prices out of season so with energy costs etc, it's not viable for farmers to sell to the uk.

And we had heatwaves last year, meaning crop yield is down.

Probably 1 or 2 other issues as well.

And on top of that we have the omnishambles of Brexit.
