I'm not one to start any rumours ... 😇 ... but I reckon UK eggs are being smuggled into the US.
Eggs have been rare in shops during the last month and I don't think we're having significant supply issues. The only thing to do is not spray the lion mark on them.
Even worse, if they are being smuggled then they are probably being flown to the US (by jet!).
We're in Milo Minderbinder territory, now!
@miguelpergamon @ai6yr @cstross I sense a heist movie coming up: “Ocean's Dozen", in which Danny Ocean and his buddies conspire to intercept a FedEx freighter loaded with British eggs in mid-air and divert it to a secret landing strip in Florida.
@angusm @miguelpergamon @ai6yr @cstross Obviously filmed as Aardman animation Chicken Run sequel.
