That's the point. You don't *have* to have cucumbers, you *choose* to have
cucumbers.

I choose not to have Dutch cucumbers.

The point is that it is stupid to criticise other countries, when UK could
have
a perfectly viable horticulture industry supplying most of the UK supermarkets
horticultural needs.

I don't think anyone other than a government that couldn't find the
countryside with a GPS, 6 helicopters and ESP, is going to argue with that.
We might not manage everything and we won't have avocados in January but we
could probably grow most of what we *need*, as opposed to *want*.
