We seem to be spending vast amounts on storing, trapping and reducing co2. yet today we see that we are now generating the stuff to keep food on the supermarket shelves longer. Does any of this make sense?

No idea but when you think of all the EU monies we got, nothing proper was ever done with it. Its the same with the vast amount of timber being felled and driven over the border to be processed. I see someone above mis read a previous post.

I’m convinced most of these shenanigans are to do with backhanders, as in paying extra for a contract👍🏻

This sort of double journey should never happen. It’s wasteful and polluting in many ways.

 Sorry I should have said "grow in sufficient quantities so as not to have to import any", as that is what I thought Fisherman meant. What about essential like spices, bananas, coconuts, which all go into the foodstuff on our shop shelves, even if we could produce the end products, which we can't at the moment.

I knew what you meant Nellie, it was just one of those unusual set ups, a tea plantation in Cornwall. wink

I'm a bit surprised there are no egg packers in Wales Fisherman, surely some producers pack their own? (I've got a vision of eggs being taken to Norfolk wrapped in cotton wool....wink)

We've strayed a bit from CO2. 

Looks like things in general will be going up price wise thanks to all these changes and shortages.

Just out of interest, which do you think is worse, fake news or conspiracy theories or maybe they’re both “just insidious & malicious to add false plausibility”?

It doesn’t really matter what I think SB you are the kind of person who doesn’t discuss things rather just tries to lead then ignore others, so please forgive me for not playing your games. . .But thank you for your interest in my posts👍🏻🙂

Wouldn’t accept that at face value Brue….another example of incomplete information, provided for effect and accepted without question. 2 minutes research confirms there is a big packing station just over the border in Shropshire. It supplies Lidl, Costco and Farm Foods to name but a few. If you buy eggs from those retailers in Wales it’s unlikely to involve Norfolk!

I didn't accept it at face value, but then like you I found I was looking up egg packing in Wales on a Wednesday evening and maybe I needed to rethink my activities. wink

However my egg packing knowledge is now up to speed, so nothing is lost in life and learning. laughing

My information came direct from one of the big egg producers. Do you suggest I follow a lorry to  check its destination. Not fake news. Just showing the absurdity of the supply chain and the total waste of HGV driving times.

Not sure at what point one might consider the extra transportation to be unacceptable. Many things to consider before a company is set up at a location to package eggs.
