This feels like something you’d see in the developing nations

I also noticed in the Tesco’s I was in the other day very very short sell by dates on the stock that was there. I made a joke a long time ago about “queueing for beets” like they used to do in the Soviet Union.
I didn’t intend for it to be a prediction

The wife stopped shopping in Tesco because of the short shelf life dates 2 years back. It’s always been a thing with them.

My local Morrisons has removed an entire large rack of shelves that were for spuds and other veg and replaced it with a couple of pallets of bottled water.

Melons that a few weeks ago were £1.50 each are £2.50 now, though on the plus side pineapples were a £1 but are now 80p.

Ah food shortages. The lighter side of brexit
 
The local coop had only 5 different types of ham earlier. Brie, chorizo, peppers and all other items perfectly fine, although they were a bit slow putting out the sarnies.

Just back from 2 weeks in Scotland on holiday and there’s no shortage of timber up there either, lorry loads of it on the roads and many logging areas looking good.

😀
 
I wonder what the psychological issue is with the brexiteers finding food shortages funny or falling to see them? I'm sure there's a word for it

I read this the other day and thought of you immediately.


Snobbery is a very British vice - but according to the author of a new book it is no longer about looking down on people for having the wrong accent or manners.
The "new snobbery" is a form of condescension practised by university-educated "progressives" - directed at people they consider ignorant and bigoted, David Skelton argues.

David Skelton: Is a new form of snobbery reshaping British politics?

The working classes are looked down upon for very different reasons than in the past, argues a new book.

Also the section where they do the roast/fried chicken legs/breasts is mostly just empty trays these day when I am in there. Maybe I am just unlucky though.
 
Smalltown - You still haven’t explained how you feel about the Conservative party you voted for leading us into Brexit. Do you regret voting for them?

I voted remain. I didn‘t vote Tory. Tories wanted Brexit. Those who voted Tory did - unequivocally.

There are no food shortages, except those caused by the Tory Party necessitating the increased use of food banks. There may be some items more difficult to get hold of, but there are not food shortages for those of us lucky enough not to have to rely on those food banks.

Its a shame people think Pelardon being unavailable in Waitrose is a food shortage.

I‘m sure there‘s a word for people who voted Tory, validating their ideology and Brexit. 4 letters, begins with a c, ends with a t.

So you are admitting it's Brexit that's at fault? It's a start. Some people on here can't even do that. There's something not right about them. Some people are so desperate to defend their unicorn they are now laughing at food shortages. It takers a special kind of person to be so weak of mind, so stubborn to not admit your mistakes that you'll stoop to the depths of laughing about food shortages to deflect from it. That's really low and, seemingly pathetic, behaviour. When instead of laughing at people starving you could simply say "I might have made a mistake" It takes a certain person to not be able to do this!

Will you admit that it is the fault of the party you voted for and stop pointing the finger at others for your mistakes.

I have asked you to do this on several occasions and you have ignored all requests.

Ye small town voted for food shortages. Why should the average voter apologise for a governments mistakes?

Hilarously I have, and you know I've admitted my mistake. That puts me one step ahead of the Brexitists on here. You can't admit your mistake and sadly have had to stop so low as to laughing at food shortages because you're too weka willed to admit you were wrong. It's a shame for you

This is the first time you have admitted to me that YOU WERE WRONG and that YOUR MISTAKE lead us to Brexit.

As for me, I never voted Tory or for Brexit, I have explained this to you in the past, but you only take in what you want to.
