At least you’ve got some over there to go on strike, Rich.

Indeed. I would just like to illustrate that service disruption is continuous here. It's woven into the tapestry of life and will probably always be here. It will pass in Uk and return to normal.

I suppose business will adapt. It has to, or else it will die.
There was a top agri business bloke on the news the other day, he said if farmers/distributors etc have to pay their staff properly to recruit and retain them, then the age of cheap food is over, and that the UK is addicted to cheap food. I was reminded of the Ryanair guy saying that Brits would crawl naked on their bellies over broken glass to save a quid. Wondering how that dichotomy is going to play out.

Our supermarkets up here in rural Galloway have had gradually reducing stock over the previous few weeks due to limited deliveries, made worse due to the amount of tourists in the area, glad the holidays are over.
Brexit is a ****ing shitshow and anyone who says otherwise deserves a ****ing slap

Brexit means we’ll all be a bit more svelte. There, that’s a benefit.

As has been mentioned already, if costs for drivers and deliveries increase, there will be an inevitable increase in prices. I suspect we are seeing the start of this and we could be in for a bumpy ride.

Ahh Brexit. The gift that keeps on taking....
I was invited to book a Flu Jab and got in quick..with the result I was booked in for Sep 23rd.
That has now been cancelled.. due.. directly..to Brexit causing a shortage of HGV drivers.
I can't see my GP surgery re-booking all appointments after the delay..so we'll all probably end up at the back of the queue.
**** you Brexit!!

Blaming opponents for failure was a popular line from Stalin and Mao, leading to purges.

Not a problem in the North East - we don’t eat fresh fruit.

You are in a very small part of each country every day. Your opinion means nothing.
(Gosh, it’s really easy to be an arse on a forum isn’t it).
He's dead right. I'm at the sharp end of food manufacture and supply, costs are rising. Customers are getting shorted. Prices are only going one way.
I lived in France for 3 years, 2003-2006 and again 2011. Never saw a gap in the shelves. Seen plenty here recently. No milk today, said the guy in the uniform.

It may not, however, be what people would prefer to eat.
Both correct. Still, mustn't grumble. Carrots keep well through the winter in a sandbox, onions too. Cabbage season soon.

The pet food aisle is usually well-stocked so we won’t starve. Fido might need to move over a bit.
