Luckily I’ve just bought some. I could happily live without coffee, but I would miss tea terribly.

I won't really miss tea, as I don't drink many hot drinks. I keep it in for guests, but rarely make it for myself.

Only drink coffee, wonder when that will be in short supply too?

I will only panic when certain wines are scarce.

Me too!

The price has already risen. Pack of 80 x 4 twinnings tea bags gone from £16.? Last month to £21.20 when I ordered them this evening

Why? What have I missed ?

It’s all down to the Houthi’s targeting vessels

There will be panic buying in the supermarkets the next few days I’ll bet.

Am I being cynical or will this herald another opportunity for price rises, stockpiling, etc?
