I think the second lorry park being build in Kent means that the troubles are not that temporary (especially for Kent people). Also either the UK governement still hasn't hired near enough customs agents, either the training was so horrendously planned it's shamefull (especially when you compare to NL and FR customs agents).
There is a fresh food issue in the UK, salads and tomatoes especially. Maybe you don't eat salads so you did not notice until its tomatoes that are hard to find on the shelf.
My cousins that are exporting some medium-quality wine (10 to 25€/bottle) to the UK seems to be fine, there will be a price hike that can cut some of their british customers but the chineese market seems to open up for them so they won't rely on UK export anymore.
