Got the last can of dog food and the last six pack of blackcurrent and vodka.

The dog food keeps running out in our town.
Did ask when the next shipment would be in and was told that the warehouse is back ordered.

These days I think of this song because that word features in the lyrics.

Let the panic buying begin! (again)

Toilet roll supply could be threatened by soaring energy price crisis

Bosses are warning production could have to be restricted due to the soaring cost of energy

Teething problems...

Hundreds of schools told to stockpile food to make sure kids are fed this winter

ISS, who offer hospitality and catering management, has told the 450 schools it cooks meals for that it is having issues with the “sourcing, packing and distribution” of food supplies

A lot of stuff was out of stock when I started lining up my shopping delivery for next week

No tofu... Not sure how we'll manage

 

[Supine]

No tofu... Not sure how we'll manage

Get some paper towel and wet it. Then crush it into square shapes and dry them out. You have tofu

 

[Chilli.s]

I find that substituting the missing tofu with bacon can improve some recipes

 

[Artaxerxes]

Oh good, vegetarian jokes. We've really gone back to the 70's.

 

[Chilli.s]

sorry

We've noticed the dog food situation down here too.

Spare a thought for our American friends who are also experiencing supply chain issues:

You know why all the tofu is gone don't you? Coz it's tofucking nice.

 

[Humberto]

Boris obviously doesn't know what he is doing. 'Higher wages' isn't true. No one's getting higher wages if you are talking as a country. It's lower. Fucking con-merchant.

My local Nisa has plenty because for whatever reason they only sell the XL packs an it's tofucking expensive. I'm now glued to the Gander app (brilliant idea in theory - I'm reserving judgement) for the chance of a cheap stirfry.

He knows exactly what he's doing. He's bullshitting, and there's a lot of polling to suggest he is good at it. Wages are technically rising. Maybe not for everyone and maybe not in real terms, but if we judge him on whether wages are rising or not, they are. Which is why he's been on the telly telling us to forget about everything except wages.

I'm beginning to think he's not all he's cracked up to be, you know. I wish I'd never voted for him now.

Rising wages will never be able to catch up with rising energy, food and housing costs. They still haven't even caught up to what they should have been in the first place.

I see the DM is talking about food shortages, whipping up a frenzy, so expect all shelves to be empty by the end of the day.

Decent analysis of the claim here:

Are Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak right about wages rising?

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have been making a lot of claims about wages. Are they right?

Yes, recent rises were mainly due to people coming off 80% furlough back to earning a full wage, so it’s preposterous that this has been used as the basis of the rising wages claim. Wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living, just wait until gas prices work through the system.

I don't see how they can. Increased wage bill means companies have to put up their prices so inflation goes up.

Or, not spend so much on bonuses for senior staff and shareholder dividends, but, y’know, capitalism/oligarchies.
