When started this post a few people criticised me for thinking about my own needs. The reverse of me stating that I could no longer buy - clothes, cheese and health supplements for example, is that the manufacturers of those products can't sell them to me. Today, in one of the local supermarkets the shelves selling UK foods was virtually empty. I suspect that they won't be refilled with British products any time soon. And, by the way, there is a section called "etrangers" which has Chinese, Dutch, German and products from some other countries.
I'd be interested to know what percentage of Frank Cooper's marmalade is sold to the EU.
Before anybody else tells me that I should be buying French produce I can assure people that 99% of my shopping is French stuff. My main beef with the French is that it is difficult to find wines from countries other than France in most supermarkets, other than the largest. We did manage to find a couple of bottles of Sicilian white today - the only etranger in the shop. Apart from prossecco.
