Some orchards are harvesting just a 10th of their usual crop, and facing an uncertain future.

    1/4 of a century ago I went to a Somerset cider farm. It had apple trees and a big apple press and great cider for tasting. Out the back though they had hundreds of drums of apple juice concentrate made in Israel.

      Do you have a source to back up this claim?

        Yeah this claim is totally unbelievable.

        No one goes to Somerset.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
