Thanks for all the fish

Sweet pickle lovers have turned to auction site eBay amid fears of a shortage of Branston Pickle this Christmas. A fire at the only factory that makes the stuff in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk last week could mean a ploughman's lunch is off the menu.

Several jars of the sweet pickle - said to be a favourite with actress Catherine Zeta-Jones - have been put up for sale on eBay. One posting reads: “You are bidding on 1 original 310g unopened jar of BRANSTON PICKLE. Due to the fact the factory burnt down there is going to be a shortage of this product for Christmas, so get yours while the stocks last”.

Another states: “Don't miss out on this chance to buy this 620g jar of fast disappearing heaven! Your cheese sandwiches now or at Christmas would not be the same without it.”
