Good point- now those who have bought in bulk & filled their freezers before have been insulated from this effect to a certain extent, so get your order in early & stock up as soon as the ban is lifted!

Unless you're experiencing the opportunity to learn how to fly, rather than addressing the problems of falling off a cliff.

I'd rather see people sit and deal with a situation, planning for the future and coping, than sitting there able to do nothing, and getting deeper into trouble. My usual consultancy rates apply.
