The Great Ibiza Oregano Famine


In stark contrast to Blunt's Beautiful Bounty and my copiously stuffed fridge, the shelves at the supermarket on Sunday morning would have passed the most stringent of health inspections as they were totally uncontaminated by any foodstuff.

'It's problems of transportation,' lament the staff.

'Joined up thinking problems,' say I!

No transport problem in the world an be the cause of a total absence of oregano from the shelves for a month now. Christ alone knows how long the deodorant shelves have sat waiting to be restocked and why oh why in the midst of bbq season is there no charcoal to be had?

An empty shelf


Footnote. There are ample supplies of firelighters on the shelves, but then, with nothing to set fire to, what can we expect?
