A lot of working class people with young families probably do. Trying to shame people that shop at Asda isn’t very nice

Who buys 3 cucumbers at a time, or most of any other units of fruit and veg.
Hardly rationing.

Watch people who have never previously bought a tomato in their life suddenly panic-buying 50 of them.

I'll just buy what they have. I'm not fussy when it comes to fruit and veg.
If they don't have anything I'll get peaches in syrup and I already have frozen veg

The Lady trying to buy the 100 Cucumbers
in Lidl, runs a business making health drinks.

Metro Front page.

She was stopped by a Good Manager
and failed to buy her 100 Cucumbers.


She will have to halt her veg drinks
Could go under.

cucumbers have got to be the most tasteless veg ever

I rarely eat rabbit food anyway. As long as the onions, potatoes and peppers are ok and a bit of Carrot and turnip on a Sunday, then that will do me. I can live without salad, fruit and greens.

Yes Some Salad put Stripped or thin sliced Carrot

Not good.

[Vanessa]

You can make a salad with just leafy greens anyway.

Just buy frozen. No one should be eating salad in winter - its against evolution

They're trying to starve you into submission.

I've been telling you. I posted about the uptake in food factory fires around the West and the fact that Bill Gates and the World economic forum are taking over the farming.

You can only call me a conspiracy theorist for so long before reality finally hits you. Then it will be too late

This is only happening in the UK though, its not a worldwide cucumber and tomato shortage?

Basically for those who dont want to read it, the supermarkets wont pay the prices being asked, so they would rather their customers went without, go to your local fruit and veg stall or farm shop there are no shortages.

Turnips are now in short supply after the the intervention of our delightful environment minister


In my location, apple growers are either digging up their apple trees or letting their apples rot on the ground because supermarkets wont pay them enough to make it worth their while. Centuries of growing, wiped out this year

Honestly how Therese Coffey has any kind of ministerial position is beyond belief.
One of the most ridiculous and incompetent people ever in politics she is in my view.

But you can always eat another fruit or veg. There's so much choice these days.

The government should intervene. Pay these people the right money.

I only eat them in summer. In winter I'd rather have vegetables than a salad.
