Apparently the cloud of ash caused by the eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull is having serious consequences. Yes, the supply of exotic goods such as mangetout, sugar snap peas and some fruit has been affected, but supermarkets are trying to 'downplay the risk of serious shortages'. However will we cope? Because sugar snaps are, of course, a staple food in our diet, and without them we're doomed to starvation.
Or we could just try the novel solution of eating seasonal foods that we can actually grow here and don't need to import. But I suppose that would be sensible, wouldn't it?

Soon they'll be queueing in the streets for organic broccoli. And then what? Anarchy!
