Happy Solstice!
Yes, very blowy around here and raining on and off.
I thought the same when I saw the cheap veg in Sainsbury’s. The supermarkets won’t take the hit.

We're a few miles from the south coast and we've had 40mph gusts on and off for several weeks.
The garden swing-seat-with-a-roof has had a bucket of sand stood on its seat
to hold it down that is in danger of becoming permanent.
Fathom. There's an interesting word. I must look into the etymology - I can't help thinking that there must be some link between a unit of measurement and the verbal sense that you have used.

A great question for Susie Dent I'd think Tim.
