Lingering COVID concerns offer a partial explanation.
The British made about 2 million fewer trips abroad in 2022 than they did in 20, an almost 20 percent decline. The British are holding on to their cars longer: The average age of the vehicles on British roads has reached 8.7 years, a record. British consumers are spending less on new clothes and shoes than they did in 20. Yet such nuisances are ramifying throughout the British economy, signals and symptoms of larger, system-wide trouble. The temporary disappearance of some fresh fruits and vegetables for a few weeks in winter may be only a nuisance. Matthew Goodwin: Britons’ growing buyer’s remorse for Brexit The result: winter tomato gluts on the continent, winter tomato shortages in the United Kingdom. But multiply that burden by thousands of trucks, squeeze the trucks through the bottleneck of the single underwater tunnel that connects Britain to freight traffic from Europe, and costs and delays accumulate. Ten to 20 minutes may not sound like much. In March, the BBC reported that Britain’s departure from the European Union has added 10 to 20 minutes of additional paperwork to every truckload of tomatoes shipped from Spain-longer if the truckload mixes different produce varieties. Behind all of these situational explanations, however, loomed a larger problem.įrom the time a tomato is harvested, every minute counts en route to the purchaser’s table. High energy prices raised costs at British greenhouses imports from warmer countries were curtailed by bad weather in Southern Europe. Ask the grocers, and you’d hear technical explanations for the scarcity. Customers might have been limited to purchasing lettuce and tomatoes, if there were any lettuce or tomatoes to be found in the first place. After seeing Garda, Juraki and Dorant defeated.If you walked into a British supermarket this past winter, you were likely to see bare shelves in the salad aisle. Lunark asks who they are, and what they think they're doing on the werewolves' land? 1st Elder greets Lunark as 5th Elder, she responds that she doesn't know who he is and addresses Haydn as 1st Elder. 1st Elder states that she must recognise Haydn, since he's been acting on his behalf. Lunark wonders if the man who is talking is the real 1st Elder and asks him directly. Lunark realises that if he is the 1st Elder, then these guys are from the Union, she thinks it was a mistake not to keep an eye on the Union, but she didn't expect them to do something so drastic. 1st Elder says that since she was an Elder of the Union, he can see that she's not asking foolish questions, like why they're attacking their people, since she already knows the answer, because 2nd Elder was ready to devour the humans at any moment and even tried to act on that plan recently. Lunark thinks that he's right, since that's exactly what 2nd Elder was planning.ġst Elder then asks about the two guys standing behind her, remarking that they look like nobles and asks what the nobles are doing here? He warns them to stay back as even though he doesn't like the nobles, the didn't really give humans a hard time like the werewolves, so he doesn't want to fight them, although if they want to fight, he won't refuse. 5th Elder asks what he's babbling about, since it wouldn't make sense for nobles to get involved in their matters, when they also came here to demand something from them? She turns to Frankenstein and instructs him to go and tell their Lord that the werewolves will take responsibility for what happened before. She thinks that she can't get them involved in this, since they only came here to help. She transforms into combat mode and launches an attack against 1st Elder. Geo attacks and Lunark avoids all her attacks.
