What I find stupid in all of this also is in another perspective like 1) new U.K. strain let’s block this guys 2) new strain in Brazil let’s block this guys N) new strain on the Nth country let’s block the Nth country

We already know where this is going and there will always be different strains so...get vaccinated, behave properly, follow all the guidelines, protect the risk group, support the less wealthy. We will all back to normal in 2-3 years time.

Brazilian variant already in the UK "not of concern". This is one of two variants.

Could be worse.

My understanding that a big part of Brexit lies in who gets to say:

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Buying fresh fish isn't too difficult in the UK, in my experience, though it depends on where you live and which species you want to buy.

Buying fresh seafood which is not fish (crustaceans, molluscs, cephalopods, etc) is much more difficult.

One of the reasons why I like living in La Palma for some of the year.

Paul, it is very difficult where I used to live and even now where I live. When this is all over and if you happen to visit Portugal I will show you our business in fresh fish. Our fresh fish section on the supermarket is the same as you here have for the beverages...lol

PS(looking at the fish eyes the majority is not fresh but you already have antibodies when you’re hit by it)

You live in one of the worst places in the UK for buying fresh fish. You are too far from the coast.

Just as a note, back home I lived near the sea, near the fish market, near a port. Have some pictures here but I can’t upload them through directly from the iPhone here, why this happens?!

Worst in fish, better on parks. But nevertheless there’s a scale problem, all over Portugal you can find fresh fish but we are small and you don’t eat as much as we do. In sandwiches you beat us. Sunshine, good food, unemployment doesn’t pay our bills.

Going back to Brexit subject I still haven’t felt issues on availability of groceries.
