This is some Russia-level disingenuous bullshit. Got a link to where this was posted?

Apparently there is an acute shortage of something called "Prime Hydration Drink" to such an extent that people in my town were having fisticuffs over the sparse supplies this morning.

Ironically my 12 year old son got a heads up on this and bagged four bottles of the new KSI limited edition flavour yesterday from Sainsburys.

Didn't get any tomatoes though, the selfish shit.

Eat turnips during vegetable shortage, suggests Therese Coffey

Cabinet minister says consumers should "cherish" home-grown produce as shops limit sales of some items.

Poor effort. She should have dragged her kids out for a photo op and force fed them turnips to show a vite of confidence in british veg.

"Cherish the turnip" sounds like the Google Translate version of a Chinese proverb.

I thought it was a reversed song title.

I like it in coffee it's really creamy. Also good for sauces and cooking. We don't get out everyday to buy milk and we are always running out. I usually have a supply of evap in the store cupboard, especially since the fresh milk shortages the other year. Haven't been able to buy any for months.

And it's lovely on tinned peaches, tastes like a treat from my childhood.

My mum loved evaporated milk. She used to top up jellies with it, and it doubled up for DIY purposes, such as sticking tiles around the sink, and filling cracks.

Something they never mentioned in the adverts.

Let them eat Turnips is a fucking downgrade and I am not happy about it.

So some supermarkets are 'rationing' fruit & veg they need to have a word with the Turkish/Kurdish lads who have shops around here , they always seem able to get fruit & veg in.

Makes sense. Turkey has a better deal with the EU.

Plenty of tomatoes in Scotmid (Co-op subsidiary) today. Salad and two kinds of cherry ones

Looking around social media last night the outspoken beexiteer idiots seem to be keeping pretty quiet on this one

Lidl full this morning

 

[Artaxerxes]

Rationing and empty tom shelves at local Tesco, a few sad lonely ones in the middle shelf.

Everything else mostly fine but bananas a bit threadbare and no Belgian waffles despite the little note saying restock on 22\2\23. Haven't had those for a week

Turnips are underrated. A turnip dauphinois is something to adore.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The Tory MP for Hove back in 2012, Mike Weatherley, had a small hard turnip hurled at him resulting in a direct hit at Sussex Uni. They make for excellent projectiles

I like turnips* but chopping them up is a struggle.

*Is it not about now we argue what's a turnip and what's a swede..?

They are both mainly round but are otherwise unrelated.
