All the signs seem to be good for food retail here.
Can you give us some evidence for this statement, lemon? What good 'signs' are there?
Bearing in mind, of course that the UK imports some 40% of its food. It cannot feed its population. It couldn't feed its population in WW2 despite attempts to turn every inch of productive land over to food production. We only got through with strict rationing and food imported at huge human cost in RN sailors and merchant seamen.
We have a much larger population now and, despite projects like Thanet Earth (which poses some problems in itself) we still will not be able to feed ourselves.
