The CO2 shortage has claimed its latest victim.
Forget the fizzy drinks, beer, cider or chicken packaging.
Now Warburton’s have had to halt production of their crumpets (the bubbles, you know)

Can Britain cope?
Can we blame Brexit?
???

nanabilly, buscetti sounds rather nicer than my DS's version which was 'stogetti' and the same child invented 'pickled lily' for MiL's piccalilly. He also use it, predictably, for Piccadilly when we visited London.
Crumpets in Scotland, when I was young, were like large, flat, holey (on one side) pancakes, about the diameter of a tea plate, which were spread with jam and rolled up - a treat for afternoon tea
