[Other Sport] Panic Buying

[severnside gull]

Don’t see any panic buying.......just nothing to buy!
Chatting to my local store manager he has lost his best staff to Brexit; the warehouses are empty because of Brexit. And the lorry drivers have gone back to Europe because of Brexit.

Shops in the rest of Europe and USA have no supply issues so using Covid as a cover doesn’t wash.
And it will get worse.......

I don't know what the problem is.
No burgers or chicken dippers in Iceland last night so I fashioned myself a crude hunting bow and spent this morning hunting wild game across Sussex.
I got 2 boar,1 deer,5 squirrels and a hedgehog.
I was also in bevendean and I found 2 lions about to start feasting on a freshly killed wildebeest ,so I shooed them away and got that too.
People are far to reliant on supermarkets these days and are not prepared to put the work in to feed themselves.

Wise words.

1. I have recently purchased an outdoor George Foreman grill.
2. We live next to some woods.
3. We have lots of wood pigeon coming into the garden.

I'm a mere air rifle away from "tree to plate" heaven.

So you are going hungry ? Goodness, I think I I will switch on the news to see live pictures of the hunger enveloping our nation and the eerily empty supermarkets and lorry parks. We are so lucky in Birkenhead to have such well stocked shops.

No one will go hungry or starve( apologies to the 2.5 million who are using or who have used a Food Bank in the last year) but you will see shortages of varying items from now on. Always plenty of Pasta in shops but you may struggle for some types from time to time now.
We will just have to accept reduced choice and probable price increases as a necessary by-product of " Taking Back Control " and " Sovereignty "... Still, we knew what we were voting for yea?

The bloke said there was nothing to buy in his shops, the warehouses are empty and there aren’t any lorry drivers anyway. These facts are very worrying. He is going to starve unless he has a decent chippie.

What is the world coming to?

I went to my local shop and there were no Goji berries, Argan oil or Bonito flakes!!
Had to settle for cornflakes

And my local fishmonger has run out of tubs of fish stock - all UK stock has been used up. Already the supply of farmed fish from the Mediterranean has halved and got more expensive.

 

[sydney]

if you want fish get off your fat arses and get down the beach and buy it , there always used to be really good fish mongers in sussex but people couldn't be "bothered" rather have some non descriptive cap'n birdseye crumbed shit or a battered sav, well once again give yourselves an upper cut ....you've earned it.

Clever move ordering in the Leffe, I would have been too embarrassed to buy it in person myself.

Panic over, we're saved

Safety fears as tests for lorry and van drivers on UK roads are relaxed to tackle shortage after Brexit

Tests for lorry and van drivers on UK roads are being relaxed to help tackle a huge shortage, triggering protests that safety will be put at risk. Road safety campaigners and Labour have both raised the alarm over the move, sparked by fears of gaps on supermarket shelves because deliveries cannot be made on time. It follows the sudden decision to allow longer journeys before lorry drivers must take a rest – and is also being hailed as benefit from “increased sovereignty” after Brexit.

The controversy has blown up after Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, issued an action plan to boost the number of drivers passing tests above the current level of 1,500 a week. It will strip the examination of “off-road manoeuvres” out of the official test to “increase overall testing capacity”. Permission to drive an articulated lorry would be granted “without also having to pass a rigid lorry practical test”, under the proposals to go out to consultation.

Now the panic is over does anyone want to buy two crates of Waitrose Duchy Organic British Quinoa ?

Just keep safe and stay off the roads if you want to collect

Sounds just like the lather that's spouted on a bottle of Buxton Spring Water.

Leffe Blond,

The only barely tolerable Leffe is " Rituel " AKA "Blue "anything else is pretty much the equivalent of French wine Le Piat D'or as in " The French adore Le Piat D'or... when in reality it was for export as the Frogs wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Well I hope someone got the last of the Blue Nun, Bull's blood and Mateus Rose before the panic buying began
