Thread Name: Flights across UK severe disruption 15 April
Subject: RE: Flights across UK severe disruption 15 April
Saw a report earlier on TV that mentioned that since much fresh fruit and veges are flown in to Britain and Europe from elsewhere, there are now massive shortages of same. Proof of the greedy narrow mindedness and short sightedness of profit makers.

I have said for a long time that if a market exceeds more than a 10% level in anything that is not local, whether exports or imports, when the shit hits the fan, many will get hurt (Food, Tourism, 'Education', etc). Grow Local, and enjoy a very small amount of 'luxuries' is merely common sense...
