Seems that due to a “cold snap” in Spain and another cold snap in Italy and Morocco, fruit and veg crops have been “devastated!”
To add to this drama, British famers can no longer afford to run greenhouses full of F&V due to the energy and cost-of-living crisis’, as well as being pressured to turn their fields into rewilding and/or vast solar panel arrays.
As a consequence (at time of writing this nom), the major supermarkets are now rationing F&V to its customers, and no doubt prices have risen to reflect this.
It seems that not only does the UK import its oil, coal and gas supplies (and migrants!), when once we did all this ourselves; but now we import 90% of our F&V, when again we used to be more or less totally self-sufficient.
I suppose the Greta Zealots will blame the “extreme weather” on climate change, even though this cold snap happened in the middle of winter. But this is yet another glaring example of Britain not providing for itself and becoming ever-more dependent on foreign imports for almost everything in its ridiculous pursuit of Net Zero!
If there’s a flip side to this news: it means that those smug vegan cunts who want us all to refuse meat and Go Green, will now be wondering how they will cope with only being allowed to buy 2 tomatoes and a lettuce!
Nominated by Technocunt
Theresa Coffey,a bag lady who seems to be in a position of some power,says Eat Turnips if there is no lettuce..
Shortly thereafter people start bulk buying turnips,causing a shortage.
And so on in Braindead Britain.
Anyway all the veg that’s in “short supply” is virtually inedible unless you are on holiday in the Mediterranean somewhere and half full of wine.
So fuck the dozy cunts.

Jill Biden took her husband – US president Joe out for a spot of Sunday dinner recently.
The waiter asked Jill what she was having.
“I’ll try the turkey and the beef please” came the answer.
“What about the vegetable?” asked the waiter.
“Oh.. he’ll have the same” she said.

Funny this.
We have two greengrocers where I live, apart from a blowjob you can get anything else you need so find this all quite interesting.

Quite, this is all to do with the supermarkets fucking around as usual.
21
Nah it’s Brexit innit.
Morning all.

Well according to that smug cunt from Simply Red it definitely is, he posted pics of French supermarkets with lots of tomatoes and peppers.
If I had Twitter I could have posted a pic from my local CooP, plenty of everything, a vegans dream 😂
19
We have plenty of Kale.
Funny how the ‘organic’ vine tomatoes are still on the shelves…. £2.80 for 4 – robbing bastards
Anyway, I thought the cost of fertilser had £skyrocketed – so shouldn’t ‘organic’ tomatoes cost less than £1.60 for fertiliser grown that they’ve “run out of stock”
Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Morrisons, etc = £ Kerching ! !

Hucknall…. One of the biggest cunts of all time.
Had the misfortune of being in the same room as him a couple of times. Thoroughly obnoxious and big headed cunt. Takes over clubs and bars, and does the velvet rope and minders shit to stop ‘ordinary’ riff-raff approaching him or his entourage of arselickers. Also treats his women like total shit. A really unpleasant character, and a Death Star sized cunt. He rivals Steve Coogan for the title of ‘Biggest Manc Cunt Ever.’

Ah yes, just like that international shortage of haulage drivers from last year.
Morning Ronaldinho.

Brexit and Covid
The excuse makers wet dream.
Bus late this morning? Covid.
Couldn’t get it up this morning? Brexit.

Herman, I heard that we’d been in earlier but pulled out, but are still getting jerked off.

Meanwhile, Matt Wankcock is “seeking legal immunity”… Does that involve a hypodermic syringe? It fucking well should. A wet towel in the gob, and carbolic acid into his heart. Creepy looking cunt.
Coffey’s thing on top of her neck/stump looks like a giant turnip. She could fill Greg’s pasties for months.

House of Parliament and Lords are overflowing with assorted vegetables.
Bad news is, there all rotten.

They’ve been on the compost for years.

Where I live there are these places called shops and markets. Seasonal veg are available, celeriac,parsnips,beets,carrots,kale,cabbage, sprouts spuds. All covered in dirt and loose in trays.
The cunts here are those lazy whingers who use supermarkets for convenience. Their food is bland,mass produced crap and as if any fucker hankers for a lettuce and tomato salad in February .
There is no food shortage as I write,just a dearth of supply for unseasonal clone shite.
Fear mongering for weak,timid sheep.
Let them eat shit.
As for that obese harridan,render it down to lard
and spread that on your bread,peasants.

There’s been plenty of articles in the news that there’s no shortage of fruit/veg if you go to a local independent, farm shop or market.
It’s just supermarkets that aren’t prepared to pay the prices that wholesalers are charging.
It doesn’t help though when dozy cunts are buying 100 cucumbers a week from Lidl, for the juice business she runs from home.
10
Bet she’s using them for more than juicing…
12
The thought did occur, CM, especially after I saw her face.
Good grief!

Great. Except where I live, we have a shopping centre with an Asda and M & S but the nearest local independants are nearly 2 miles away.

Good lord JP, I just looked at the picture.
That’s put me off sex for a while, what a munter.
She’s 40 but has the forehead of a 20 year old. Perhaps she’s been pouring cucumber juice over her forehead.

A nun goes into a greengrocers and asks for “Half a cucumber, please.”
“I’m sory, sister,”replies the greengrocer, “we only sell whole cucumbers.”
“That’s ok,” replies the nun, “I can eat the other half.”
Old joke brought to you by some seventies comedian.

Reap what you sow, tee hee. If his Excellency President Field Marshal Idi Amin Dada VC was still running Uganda he might deign to send food aid again to the needy peoples of the Home islands.

I live in Spain and our town markets and supermarkets are overflowing with fruit and veg, we have shit loads.
I will organise a whip round and send over some red cross parcels.
16
Precisely!
10
Fruit and veg aside, the fact remains that you still live in Spain.
8
I haven’t seen rationing of fruit and veg round my way. This is just another media hysteria that came to nothing. Last year we were scaremongered into thinking that we’d all be huddled around a water bottle eating lukewarm rice due to Putin and it was a normal winter, a mild one, actually! It’s actually colder NOW, it has been snowing in some parts this morning! Temperatures as low as -10C predicted for tonight in Scotland. But no hysteria this time, because people have wised up to the nonsense.
27
When I was younger I had to walk 300 miles every day to the nearest waterhole just so we had a bucket of water to boil. We grew our own vegetable then (a yam) and that would feed me and my 58 brothers & sisters for a month. Don`t know they’re born these days.

There has been no ‘cold snap’ here.
In fact, temperatures have been a little higher than previous years.
It hasn’t rained for a long time, perhaps last in January, but fruit and vegetables are grown under plastic covers mostly anyway.
La Tomatina is going ahead as is does every year.
Tickets are on sale now.
This is the fiesta near Valencia where hundreds of tons of tomatoes are thrown at each other.
You are being lied to in the UK.
Encourage panic buying and put the prices up.

It rained here in jaén last night, first we have had for ages and it’s been nice and warm apart from a few cold days. Was up the sierra Nevada at the weekend, not a lot of snow about up there
6
Plenty of people on the beaches here today.
It may have been a bit cold in some, mostly northern areas a while ago, but nothing out of the ordinary and nothing that could be described as a cold snap.
We are forecast to have temperatures in the mid 20’s by the weekend.
The streets, main roads and motorways which have orange trees running alongside which are full of fruit.
I have no idea how, they never get watered.
I drove through Murcia over the weekend.
This region is mostly farmland.
Thousand of fruit and veg pickers were working the present harvest.
Supermarkets are stuffed full of vegetables.
A carrier bag full of assorted fruit and vegetables can still be brought for a euro in many outdoor markets.
We buy whatever is in season, but in Spain most things are in season all year.
Except cherries.
I like cherries but will have to wait until June before fresh ones are available.
8
Yeah, love the fresh cherry season. Strawberries were good this year, Mrs has made a ton of jam

There’s no rationing down South, only copious Remoaner cunts claiming it’s the fault of, “Bwexx-ittt!” The only thing I haven’t been able to buy is tomatoes.
British fruit and veg is ridiculously overpriced. It’s greedy farmer cunts assuming people will “buy British”. Perhaps if the farmer cunts lowered their prices, they’d sell more produce, the moaning, pîkey turnip-nîggers.

whoops-a-daisy I meant ñiggaz

Jebus, these MSM cunts love a scare story.
So fucking what, give the salad a miss for 4 weeks. Who gives a flying fuck – too cold here anyway for fucking salad. Tuck into healthy stews, dumplings, burgers, chips, fish and green veg instead.
Part of the problem is that the country is overpopulated and the supply of food just can’t keep up with an ever-growing demand. But then the fucking fatheads in Parliament know that only too well but will do fuckety-fuck all about the problem.
CUNTS!
14
Well said.
Salad is for summer.
I’d love a Sussex Pond Pudding – suet, but with chopped unwaxed lemons, demerara sugar and loadsa butter in the bottom of the basin. Artery-clogging, but I no longer care. All washed down with a pot of steaming nut-brown meths.
I miss our regular letters from Northumberland. Hope Mr. Fiddler returns soon!

There’s plenty of frozen vegetables anyway and there’s nothing wrong with them despite what some vegan poof might tell you. The media love to create panic and blame it on brexit, climate change, slavery, colonialism, the “far right”, whatever. There’s a real shortage of doctors and dental appointments but don’t mention that because the reason is too many foreign fuckers in this country.
12
Since writing this nom it is clear the supermarkets are bullshitting us and the media are in cahoots with them in order to create yet another Project Fear and to ramp up prices.
Where I live in the Lakes, local farmers are by and large enjoying good crops but they’re getting fucked over by the supermarkets with their pricing.
Another problem with local famers is finding a reliable workforce to do all the picking and harvesting. One local farmer commented on a local Facebook page saying that due to the generous benefits system compared to the Minimum Living Wage (around a tenner/hr I think) people on the dole simply aren’t bothering applying for jobs because its not worth it!

‘During the wawah we grew our own. Made a pot of potato peel and mouse droppings soup last six of us for a week. Younger generation don’t know they’re born etc’.
8
All this talk about a shortage of healthy food is disturbing, but I allow myself one frozen meal a week, and tonight it’s Kershaws steak pie and chips. I’ll worry about staying healthy tomorrow.

Well I couldn’t give a fuck.
I don’t eat fruit an veg.
It’s puffs food.

Its the same old story, the fucking government and super markets have been fucking farmers over for years, its got to the point were a lot of them have jacked it in to seek easier ways of making a living [ same as all the truck drivers who now stack shelves] its only until theres a big fucking problem like now.
The best bit is supermarket bosses have been summoned by the gov to explain what their doing about the issue.
Easily explained, between the 2 parties they have fucked the UK farming industry in the arse for so long its no longer worth the hassle, farmers cant afford to do it anymore, due to being chinned by supermarkets until theres no money to be made, the gov have land grabbed all the spare land knowing the farmers have to sell. ifso facto no fucking fruit and veg…..beautifully fucking illustrated i think

BBC 6 oclock news led on ‘Tesco out of tomatoes’. We are all going to die.
Aldi had them but I dont suppose any BBC types would go to Aldi.
Anyway, I bought a pallet.
13
More MSM bullshit, aided and abetted by the supermarkets. Who wants a tomato in February anyhow, fucking tasteless and rock hard.
Plenty of fresh stuff round my way, spinach is particularly cheap currently.
It’s the fucking sheep that use Uber eats and Macy Ds that lap this shit up. The irony is that most of that lot would be able to boil water let alone prepare some veg.
The Media, BBC, Government and Tesco’s can suck my hairy Balzac. Get to fuckk.

More supermarket shenanigans and another ‘project fear’.
On the upside, it makes vegans look less smug.
Just wait for the outcry when there’s a chiggun shortage.

Oh no can’t get Tomotoes in the middle of winter how will be cope. Fucking bunch of snowflakes. These idiots would be dangerous if they had a brain. Let more immagrants in…. I can’t buy a house it’s too expensive, I can’t see a doctor or get Tarquin into his favourite school.
