Forgive my cynicism but I am old enough to remember the potato shortages in 1975 which were blamed on poor weather affecting the harvest that year. The price of potatoes rocketed 3 to 4 fold. The following year supply was back to normal but did the cost of potatoes return to previous levels...did they 'eck as like!

I can accept that COVID lockdowns across the world have severely impacted everything and that things are gradually returning to normal but I cannot believe that all of a sudden economies are suddenly booming beyond pre-COVID levels causing a shortage of basic raw materials. There has to be an element of profiteering in all this.

You do know that there has been a global pandemic on in the last two years don't you ? You cant blame everything on brexit, no matter how much you didn't like the result of the vote.
