This was the scene that greeted me in Marks and Spencer on Moorgate this afternoon, at the banana display or should that be banana non-display.
I can’t ever remember going into one of their major stores and not finding any of my favourite fruit.
At least they had some strawberries.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Lidl had loads earlier today, but no pineapples despite promoting them.
Sadly B****t has lead to frequent hold ups for imported food, and whilst stores try to hide the consequences by putting something [anything] else on the shelves rather than leave them empty, this is only likely to become more common. Especially true for anything in genuine short supply in the EU – ithin EU orders will be filled first and if none left for bureaucracy stricken UK then tough luck.

M&S has recently been highly critical of the bureaucracy associated with Brexit, so perhaps they have decided to leave empty shelves empty rather than try to hide what is happening. The change of government may have encouraged them to be bolder.

You should have gone to Kew Gardens. They are available all year round.

Tesco reportedly have no bananas in some stores now.
Blaming shipping.
