I'd sooner have some Welsh lamb, Cumberland sausage or a Dickens & Morris pork pie thanks.
By the way the UK isnt "toatally" dependant on imports ... only about half is imported. |

Which half starves. Bet the pork for the sausage and pie is imported :)
As for where the pork comes from for the pork pies and sausages ... who cares cos they taste far better than those shite NZ suasages. |

Well over half the pork eaten in NZ is also imported so what is the difference?:confused:

To quote Robbie 50% of UK food is imported whereas NZ has a surplus, if I have to switch from pork joints to leg of lamb well so be it :-)

Re: Cucumber News
So extortionate black market shortage winter prices in the UK are about the same price as NZ in season cheap summer prices.
That's the New Zealand I remember � ���� I'm going to the market today before I have a pre match gallon of beer this afternoon. I will investigate this matter further. Here's a question for everyone: How posh have you got to be for it to be acceptable to peel a Cucumber? |
Re: Cucumber News
BBC - Lettuce Rationing
'A spokesman for the Prime Minister, Theresa May, said the government knew there was a "situation", and that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) was "monitoring" it.' Brings tears of mirth to my eyes :) |

I went to visit my brothers allotment yesterday.
He was feeding his chickens salad, in the middle of winter during a salad crisis. Bloody salad. How the other half live!!!! |
Re: Cucumber News
Yeah, how the other half live - they have to rent an allotment instead of having it in their own back garden ;)

Caravan and Salad. UK chickens today don't know they're born. |
Re: Cucumber News
Peculiar chicken too - mine won't look at 'salad' - brassicas are heaven though.

In today's Cucumber news: A notice in Countdown yesterday : Lettuces are currently in short supply ' due to weather conditions ' . I kid you not. My first lot of salad got trashed in the storms. Made the sweetcorn look like a corn circle . |

My brother has an allotment, they also have quite a large back garden in the north-east of England. I think it's more to do with getting away from home and meeting with like-minded individuals in his case. |
