Yesterday my daughter went to a B/Q somewhere in Gloucestershire, she wanted
to purchase fence panels but found that there were none to be found in this
particular store. She made enquiries and was told that there was or will be
a huge shortage of fence panels, indeed in some parts of the country they
were being stolen and in others they were being sold for highly inflated
prices. The reason given was that China was buying up all the timber from
Eastern Europe. Anyone else heard about this.

Yes, the winter storms + dubai + china = no supply.

Trade assoc is asking individuals not to buy for six weeks to help
contractors not go out of business.
