They did, but my understanding is that then the pandemic hit, and everyone became cyclists.

If it has caught out Honda, causing it to unexpectedly need to stop production, then there should be no surprise that smaller companies, like Brompton, with far less sophisticated supply chain / forecasting / planning operations, are also whacked

Fingers crossed it gets sorted quickly

Very true
I have a couple of Bromptons, was looking to add another, but there was a 5 month wait back in August!
So I got something else.
It’s funny how they are selling so well though, as nobody is getting a train to work anymore. I thought the fall in commuters would have hit them...
