Seriously, you think a lorry across Europe in the sun is the way fruit and veg is imported. That only happens in refrigerated lorries which wouldn't be effected by delays at borders.

Yeah, I have worked in a supermarket, I know how things move. Very high tech and large scale these days. Most fruit and veg in the UK comes into the store half frozen to maintain freshness and this has been the case for a couple of decades. Things go to in large scale to regional distribution centres and then go out in lorries from there.

Maybe you should also look at the labels some time. We get a lot of fruit and veg from Africa, south America, Israel, etc. That stuff definitely isn't coming by road. Have a Google about food miles.
