THE floods that ravaged parts of England could also leave their mark on the Christmas dinner plate, a new report warns.
The trade magazine the Grocer says shortages in the wake of the recent floods could last until the end of the year with the British crop of brussels sprouts badly hit.
Torrential rain across much of the country has added to the woes of growers and threatened availability levels in supermarkets. Up to half of the UK's brussels sprout crop has been lost, fuelling fears of Christmas Day shortages, producers have warned.
Besides, if you have not already put the sprouts on the boil, you are probably too late for Christmas 2007.
