   Last week, the local Waitrose had no iceberg lettuces.   
      
   At the beginning of this week, they had a few - £1.20 instead of the   
   long-time usual £1.   
      
   Today, they had some for £1.40. They were distinctly heavier than   
   normal, and from the USA. But thank heavens for the Special   
   Relationship!
