Most certainly! It is chutneys though that got me inspired.

I've had a word, and Mark Carney assures me that the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street holds ample reserves of chutney!

I hear it is now made from polymer so it lasts longer and is harder to counterfeit.

Of course, it's possible that all this jam stuff might just be a smear campaign.

Not only the UK - the rest of the world ain't exactly brimming with either!
