You take a bbq out with you to eat most nights? How does that work? Apologies if it looked as though I said you were laughing, it was another poster who was.
 
Another thing. Many employers have told their employees NOT to download the track n trace app, or switch off the tracking on it when at work. As may give false readings. Employees have downloaded this and forgot to switch off the tracking. The latter is easy to forget like switching off silent mode when able to take calls etc easily.

You could blame them for the problems. If I was an employer asking my workers not to download the app and if they downloaded it and got pinged, I would only pay them SSP.

Surely that's illegal for employers to do? Especially if somebody contracts covid, if he has been using the app outside the workplace, and hasn't been pinged, that would indicate that the employee contracted covid at work, and would put the employer at risk.

Doesn't matter if they are double jabbed, no need to isolate for close contacts anymore.

Wouldn't happen in a unionised workplace that's for sure.

lol ..it's out side in the back yard .. bottle of wine chargrilled meats .. and veg .. :P
 
I've heard of a couple of complaints from randomers recently about empty shelves, but I only see the odd item missing entirely. Don't see what the fuss is all about as supermarkets often had empty spaces before all of this.

And the argument about KFC vs Nandos... I could barely finish a £15 bucket of KFC. I'd be hungry after a £15 dried out cheeky nando's with the boys.
 
Things will improve as the backlog of HGV tests are cleared, and hauliers are already offering more attractive wages to give UK drivers an actual wage they can live on, so that's a win. We're certainly not going to experience anything like we did in spring 2020 when everything was closed and the shelves were genuinely bare, and of essential items not strawberry milkshakes.

Nor I, haven’t had a polite well behaved Nando’s either.
I once walked past Nando’s in Commercial Street, London E1, one glance in the window told me that I might be better off to keep walking.
I’ve had chicken piri piri with salad in a frangasqueira in Lisbon, sauce was enjoyably hot, and I can’t imagine that a pseudo Afro-Portuguese cafe in U.K. could better that.
 
Never

My ex and I ordered one of these each https://www.kfc.co.uk/menu/sharing/14-piece-party-bucket after Leeds Festival. We only ate the biscuits and sweets we took as the food there was ridiculous prices - £7 for a cardboard burger (in 2003). We were beyond starving. We stuffed the lot.

Because it's a storm in a teacup, the press are pushing it because it gives them clicks and then it gets perpetuated by all the time-rich Karens on Facebook, when in reality the shortages aren't anywhere near what everyone's making them out to be.

These things happen all the time, but it's just the latest thing for everyone to worry about, so the press are cashing in on it. We're having problems sourcing Honeywell BMS controllers at the moment, this has nothing to do with COVID or even Brexit, but because the factory in China, where they were all manufactured and stored burned down. Tell the press though and they'll tell us all to panic buy everything, the money-sucking, morally corrupt societal parasites that they are.

If everyone just told the press to STFU and shut twitter down the world would soon be back to normal.
 
rural areas are perhaps suffering more. My local Co-op quite often doesn't get its delivery and has many bare shelves esp fruit and veg.

Which then fuels the fire on people panicking and stocking up.
