After toilet roll, pasta and turkey shortages we were wondering what the next item would be.

Well, it turns out that it’s A4 copy paper.

There is currently a major shortage of A4 copy paper in the UK.  This has been caused by several factors.  There have been increases in the cost of production as a result of rises in energy prices, an increase in the cost of container shipping around the globe and also more recently as a result of paper merchants no longer sourcing supplies from Russia.

Hopefully the shortages will be short-lived and the pricing will return to more normal levels.
