A thank you to Brexiteers.

[Pickman's model]

Yes. I just said that i am well aware of it being patchy. So does that mean there is not in fact a problem 'as i term it'? I take it you agree with Spymaster that there's really no issue worth worrying about until the shops are 'genuinely empty'.

There are lots of issues to worry about beforehand. Climate change. Who will win the league. Will I buy a Zionist avacado by mistake. But utterly empty shops? No.

Horn of plenty in the Tory/Brexity areas...famine in the (continuity ) remoaner zones...see what they're doing here?

Might be a vaccine side effect

Well he's a sensible fellow so he'll see through your misinterpretation here and, no doubt, agree with me. I would have thought you'd have realised the mistake you were making there, now that you've had a chance to read it sober!

 

[Steel Icarus]

It is quite amazing to see how underneath the reports about the government asking the army to help deliver adequate food there are loads and loads of brexiteers still saying how their supermarket is fine their cupboards are full and its all a load of Remoaner lies.

It's quite amazing after five years so many people have yet to figure out "divide and conquer" isn't just a theory

If brexit takes away my roast potatoes i will never forgive or forget.

Brexit, floods and Covid could lead to shortages of chips and roast potatoes in UK

Experts are predicting that the UK could face a shortage of chips and roast potatoes, as a result of the major flooding which hit Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands last month.

I guess the major flooding which hit Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands last month must have been the result of Brexit as well.

Theres a whole potato battle that i hadn't heard about, going on behind the sausage wars.

Brexit fightback: UK bans EU seed potato imports in snub at Brussels

A trade row between Brussels and London threatened to erupt tonight after UK ministers banned the import of seed potatoes from EU countries in a victory for Scottish farmers.

Banning imports of plants and trees and other things that can carry diseases and invasive species across borders is no bad thing tbh.

 

[The39thStep]

It is very weird, the patchiness of the supply issue.
I have no idea why it would be really obvious where i am and not where you are. Probably just down to individual drivers, on particular regular routes, down to who has left and who has stayed in their jobs?
There's absolutely nobody who lives where i do (in the two nearby towns i mean, with one large supermarket and a couple of smaller ones in each town) who hasn't been well aware of the problem for many weeks now. It has become normal to just wait and see, not expect to be able to get all the stuff on yr shopping list and adapt to what is available. Time of day makes no difference either.

Personally I'm not someone who cares deeply about food or needs to find very particular ingredients for my planned meals or anything so am not massively bothered by it but if you did need to get specific stuff on a specific day i imagine you'd be having a bad time.

All plants and animals should stay in their own countries?

I never realised my vote would have such an impact

Potatopro.com is a great website by the way.

I wouldn't go that far but we've imported enough plant and animal diseases in the past to be more careful in the future - unrelated to Brexit.

But the potato war is entirely brexit, nothing to do with diseases or invasive spud species.

Non EU company in "Doesn't abide by EU reguations" shocker.
As you say, entirely expected.

None of these things are problems just one exciting opportunity after another really, improvise your dinner and grow your own potatoes both more fun than switching phone providers though.

I quite enjoy switching phone providers. I've done it 3 times in 2 years, and I'll probably be doing it again very soon. It's quite painless really, rather like cooking something different.

Well it's more justifiable than confiscating cheese and pickle sandwiches

In case they are nterested. Soup stocks stable.. But willing to swap Ian Paisley Jnr for a portion of chips for other reasons

Good news round these parts. Poundstretchers have opened a new store today. We also have a Poundland store too.
