    I can remember back in the 70's, I was working for George Hammond's. Potatoes were imported through Dover at that time and for some reason, instead of loading them onto lorries for distribution, they were stockpiled in just about every square inch they could find, eventually moving some down to a huge sheep farm on the Romney Marsh.
    This was all going on when there was a supposed potato shortage here in the UK.
    I can even remember a friend of mine who owned a restaurant telling me that a farmer friend of his that supplied him with his potatoes, got fined for growing more than he was allowed to grow, by the government and that was at the same time they were telling the country that there was a potato shortage.
