Food Shortages.

[gulliver1]

"The British Retail Consortium" Which represents all the major food and retail chains in the UK.
Has said it expects to see food shortages and more empty shelves by the end of this week.
This is no longer about... will Christmas be OK ......It's about keeping the wheels turning and the lights on so we can get to Christmas..... Come on Boris ... time to step in. Before there is a winter of discontent under your leadership.

Hi Gully - giving it out to the usual squawks I see ( er hear)

//Boris was very anti Brexit ,,,, t.......Not sure who advised him though.//

Boris the bonka ( eheu ! fornicator mirabilis sed augustus inferior = eheu ! if only he were as good at governing as he is at f - - -- !(*) advised himself. He wrote ( or scripsit)
one side A4 - Brexitus - - pro Brexito
uvva side ( altera versa ) stay-us - keep-us. ( alea stat)

and he ( Boris that is!) took a long suck on his.... pencil ( similar puns to be found in Latin and Shakespeare) and decided er at length ( ditto ) to go for Brexit . wiv all his energies.

utraque sugere videreque (*)

(*) doing Latin today - bored - why he do latin den, ABers ask? - ancient forrin why he done dat den?

(*) hey looka dat! oratio obliqua on AB !!!! - otherwise he said to suck it and see. ( the he said, inquit) is always understood)

have fun boys and girls
No shortage of Latin today I see
( N: I see no shortage....)

[Bobbisox1]

[Peter Pedant]

Golly Gully
I can see another clarification from the usual suspect,
galloping over the horizon

Hold your horses. I haven't said anything about NI.

Here's another for you, PP. You seem to be collecting mine - as always. ;o)

Oops! I think that may have run into two lines. Sorry.

[Redhelen72]

I said 'you may say different'
I didn't say 'you say differently'

[naomi24]

I don't know why you bothered to address that to two people specifically then. Lots of people 'may say different' - if they decide to say anything at all.

Hi I'm just back from Aldi -a very large Aldi built last year so here is my report:
Random things not available such as avocados, no spring greens or cabbage, very few tomatoes but I grow my own so no big deal. Most veggies looking a bit 'tired' which is not normal for this Aldi .Meat seems in abundance, so I filled up on minced beef, stew meat chops etc, mega pack of chicken breast (naughty me). Milk seemed in short supply, but they had capers (but no Dijon mustard) . Cat food very low , seems only the expensive stuff left, same with dog food. Hardly any sugar left (three 1 kilo bags left on the pallet plus some soft brown sugar)

Seems very random and probably more to do with what HGV's were able to deliver that particular day. I did notice most of the vegetables had a union flag on which can only be good. Who needs green beans from Kenya for goodness sake. On the way there I saw a tanker filling up our village fuel pumps so on the way back filled up to the top.
Time will tell, but there are shortages for whatever reason, and to deny that is just plain stubbornness, or to make some sort of point.

Was in Lidl yesterday. No eggs, coke, diet coke or cat food.

12 12 where does it say" she was talking about the Cameron govt"???

[gulliver1]

Breaking news ....Grant Shapps says there is no need to panic there is plenty of car fuel available..... its just that we havent got the Tanker drivers to deliver it.
... Are all Tory mps idiots or just Cons....
