Cambs potato mountain: When the chips are down
Whittlesey farmer Luke Ablett is concerned about his unprecedented stockpile of spuds.
It's a staple part of many people's diets, but a Cambridgeshire farmer said he had been left with tonnes of potatoes that no-one seems to want.
Luke Ablett, who farms near Whittlesey, says he is getting 'very worried' about not selling all his potato crop.
Other growers are also seeing a 'notable' decline in demand from chip shops.
John Devine went to see the stockpile for himself.
