At Tesco, Thai orchids are likely to be the first item to vanish from stores if the disruption continues.

Well, that's it then, time to grab the bug out bag, the arsenal* and head for the hills. The end of the world is finally upon us. It'll be blood on the streets and anarchy. DOOM!!! DOOM!!!!!!!!!!
*Although how much good a Premier League football team is going to be I'm not sure...still, could come in handy when the proper food runs out I suppose.
I've just read this on the volcano thread at The Oil Drum:
According to the Norse Eddas, what we are witnessing are the effects of the world tree Yggdrasil shaking and the Midgard serpent Jormungandr writhing, in preparation for the final battle of Ragnarok. Things are expected to really go south when that nasty wolf Fenrir arrives on the scene. The good news is that after being totally destroyed and drowned, the earth will be reborn and there will be two survivors, Lif and Lifprasir, who will repopulate the world. It’s just one theory, but it’s probably as good as any at this point.

Well, I always believe everything I read on TOD
I'm changing my name to Lif by deed poll on Monday morning.
A quick look around several supermarkets shows a shortage of strawberries, peaches, and plums, which I presume are air freighted.
Several neighbours of African descent have expressed concern over supplies of yams which are allegedly flown into the UK from Ghana.
I see no shortage, and also suspect that these root vegetables are not perishable and are therfore probably imported by ship.

Sorry I don't have anything more to add, but I'm guessing most powerswitchers are finding it every bit as hilarious as I do. I personally would be quite happy to never get on a plane again in my life. I hate the damned things.

well don't then. I haven't been on a plane for fifteen years. It was a conscious decision for environmental reasons and it hasn't been hard to stick to.
