Percy Pig is a sad loss.
Do we all remember the rhetoric about food shortages, the need to stockpile and all the logistics professionals on Twitter claiming that it works be a calamity? At least it’s not that bad.

the need to stockpile...
TBF supermarkets had been doing that before the 1st of January in preparation of a No Deal.

Sorry Dov but I don't think you've been paying attention - the logistics situation is worse than for e.g. Shane Brennan (@Coldchainshane on Twitter) thought it would be, but it's masked at the moment (to an extent) by lorries simply not travelling as they're either unable to leave the depot or the shipping company has refused to go to the UK.
Food shortages are now coming into play as stockpiles run down, which is going to push lorry volumes up, which is going to run headlong into the red tape mountain.
And in the meantime fishing is buggered, and those that survive will either have to freeze their catch (and accept a lot less for it) or land it in the EU in order that they can sell it before it rots.

Thankfully we were wrong and are now reaping the benefits as foretold by the wise soothsayers of Leave.
