You may have read this story which has even forced Badenoch to concede that this Brexit red tape nonsense has to end.

The UK’s leading berry farmer has told LBC he has been forced to let hundreds of tonnes of strawberries rot in fields because of Brexit red tape - and warned UK shoppers should expect shortages and soaring food prices. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/the-farme ... 4qkRAAVIvg

But the hugely experienced fruit farmer doesn't have the collective wisdom online gammons. They have a solution, guess what it is?

I grow my own iam sure he could have got a pick your own strawberry sign out side his farm to get rid of some.

Go old school and let people come and pick their strawberries. I remember doing it as a kid with my mum.

300 tonnes? Let's assume that every visitor to this PYO farm buys a kilo of strawberries, and they price in another 500g ending up in bellies as the kids go round, carrying out a little quality control.

They'd only need 200,000 familes. How long is strawberry season? Could they accommodate 10,000 carloads a day?
