Anyone non-panic buying?

I don’t read newspapers sorry.

Edit - are you a farmer or do you just watch them on youtube? Apologies if you are a farmer.

Almost

Weather caused the shortages.

Shortages of supply yes but not shortages at the shops because like i suggested when there were disruptions in supply in the past the shops would just switch supplier and get stock from that new supplier in a matter of days, if not hours.

e: All this conjures up images and people saying that we'd be a nimble small boat on the oceans of free trade instead of being tied to the slowly sinking EU and while that maybe true it also means we're uniquely exposed to any disruptions and far less able to just weather any storms.

Whilst I personally have a career that isn't farming.... and just so you know I'm not full of bull ****.

(Would have been turnips but we had none in).

People have been panic buying turnips on the advice of the government.

Ladbrokes aren't taking any bets on this years harvest. You could say that's a turnip for the bookies .

I voted remain. And as I have already said the 'brexit caused it' narrative in this case doesn't stand up to even basic scrutiny.

Your lot are not motivated by a desire for things to improve you are a bunch of often disengenious traitors who would rather see it fail.

I am not surprised, but you have had a good innings though, it must have been a slog at times.

I'm not sure anyone's said Brexit caused it, a few people have said it's got nothing to do with Brexit but AFAIK most people who've disagreed with that have said something along the lines of Brexit is a contributing factor, that Brexit has made it harder to adapt to such disruptions, and that if it wasn't for Brexit we'd be in a similar situation as the rest of the members of the EU, that is there wouldn't be empty shelves.

Also who is "you lot"?

Most unconvincing I voted remain post so far in nearly 7 years of unconvincing I voted remain posts.
Take a bow.

Went into Lidl fully expecting it to be rows of empty shelves. They had everything, only thing they didn't have was free range eggs, plenty of cages ones though.

I’ve just been in Lidl’s and Sainsbury’s and all shelves were stocked. Two different t locations so everything is fine here.

As I said above I expected this to happen fairly quickly as the purchasing supply chain people did their thing.
Again as I said to me the only part Brexit has played in this is the ability to have reacted faster via continental europe was removed.
Its still the most likely way we would resolve the situation but its just not possible to be as flexible as we were pre 22.

My gut feels is you will still see some shortages but they will become increasingly localise and sporadic for the next month.

Fine here too but that's not the narrative some people want to hear. We're dooomed!

They just making it up. They probably were there during a restock and made up news saying everything was empty lol

Literally every place I’ve been has been full.

Then you havent been to the same shops as me with empty up turned veg boxes and very little variety. I find it strange certain people are trying to deny it is happening and its all just a conspiracy.

You sure that’s not just because they are waiting to be restocked? Did you wait for an hour or two to see if they did get stocked again or ask?
