Thanks for the link Jitter, I don't know how I missed that. Hopefully now we are (or soon will be) 'out' of Europe things might change though I shan't hold my breath.
They say production will continue albeit in Europe which offers some threads of hope.
As for hoarding, not so easy here with the prices we are charged but I shall now buy a spare along with every pouch to use now.
Regards,
Jay.
