The Turkeys who voted for christmas

Unfortunately the delays are going to get worse before they get any better. Unconnected to food but I've just had a supplier put back delivery on some products until November. What will happen once we start checking imports is honestly quite scary.

It's not scary if you just pretend it isn't happening. That appears to be the head in the sand approach the cults are going for now.

The brexit unicorn has become an ostrich

Exactly.
We have a superb relationship with all our local suppliers who always in the past have given us a heads up when stock may be unattainable.
We've had no such communications as of yet.

This board does my head I, just when I think I've heard everything, two people have mentioned mint sauce on a Christmas dinner thread.

Mint sauce belongs nowhere near a Christmas dinner!!!!

Have to admit I have it on Christmas dinner. Have it on any Sunday dinner (chicken, beef, pork) too. But then I'm a bit of a rogue who doesn't play by the rules
The Han Solo of sunday dinners if you like. 😎

I take a bit of grief for it. But not as much as I do for my stance that I like Xmas pudding but don't like Xmas cake. Despite what my sister in law says they are not "pretty much the same thing".

Give it time. When import checks kick in and the supply chain issues worsen you brexit refuseniks are in for a nasty shock.

Do you think we will start import checks?

I'm sceptical. It won't be long before the imports we do get will be of dubious quality.

Possibly not. IN the same way we've made our roads more dangerous in order to solve the brexit influenced HGV driver shortage, I imagine we'll do similar with food. Risk public health and food quality to try and hide the Brexit failure that is import checking.

Oh believe me Gaz I have lived a lot and at no point in my life have I decided mint sauce and Christmas dinner are a match!!!

Bread sauce, horseradish and cranberry should be the only "sauces" allowed on a Christmas dinner!!!

You've been parroting the same paragraph all year. I haven't a scooby do what a brexit refusenik is having taken no part in the brexit vote and voting independent at the last election.

You seem plenty ignorant of it's effects though. And happy enough to argue your ignorance. Which is a strange thing to do

Supposedly we already needed 50,000 extra Customs officers. That is a measure surely of the additional, pointless, unproductive red tape we have lumbered ourselves with.

I know that there was already a shortage of vets before we left the EU. Most UK vets were in practices looking after dogs and cows and sheep. The vets running our border checks were almost all EU citizens taking advantage of the Single Market rules and the welcoming nature of our governments at the time. God knows how many have decided to move back to the EU since 2016.

Horseradish is also rank.

Randy, Gaz I admire you both for contributions to this board but anymore nonsense like this and I'm afraid I will be putting you both on ignore.

I notice ST is also dodging the most important topic on this thread by continuing to try and bring it back to brexit, all the people want to know ST is what is your stance on mint sauce at Christmas???

Ignorant how? Because I, the business I work for, my friends and family haven't experienced any of the shortages of broccoli, wood, bog roll and kitekat that is reported on here on a daily basis?

You need to chill out about the brexit stuff and get outside and get some fresh air or take in a Boro match now and again or you'll make yourself ill.
