The Post-Brexit Thread

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

My neighbour foz is a Devon Greek Cypriot and uses all of those things as a matter of course. Her daughter is a picky eater in the sense that she will only eat an extremely iron rich variant of the med diet.

I can't believe that left Sharkey didn't notice the whole "let's go back to an imaginary version of 1970" vibe of brexit

[Patrick Thistle]

It's just belittling the problems caused by Brexit with an ad hom attack on the critic. "Oh boohoo little miss diddums can't get her spring onions."


I drove past a sawmill on the road to Hereford that I've driven past approximately five hundred times before. This was the first time I've seen it with a massive sign saying "Drivers Wanted".

Went to the post office this morning to send a single cassette tape in a jiffy packet to the UK. "You'll need this five-section customs form," said the helpful PO worker. "Oh, and you can't use those jiffy bags any more unless it's documents only, so you need to buy a box." Ok, I said, I can do all that. "Minimum postage cost will be €16." Okay, I said, let's forget it.

Ha, very good. Never heard of revivals? Not that I'm part of it - I never stopped using vinyl and cassettes to start with.

"People have told me they have lost business as a result - I don't know if that's true" and "Europe were taking us for a ride, and they still are"

Did they misspell points?

Sadly, it's an hilarious pun, as it refers to the interviewers alleged penchant for "honest British beer" and the set is dressed as a pub

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

The boss of Hardy's has warned that wine stocks are likely to be seriously depleted at Christmas because of driver shortages. The Daily Mail classes might not care about chicken in Nando's or milkshakes in McDonald's but take their xmas wine club order away and there'll be riots outside every Waitrose in the home counties.

Jesus. Did they hire the producer from Fantasy Football League?

[Nefertiti2]

Just been to the fish shop. The monger reported that lots was unavailable because of brexit, shortage of lorry drivers etc.

No sparkling water to be had on Sainsburys online for our delivery online. No raspberries available either.

The shelves in the actually supermarkets look depleted, especially in certain aisles.

Across the British ones.

Lumber yards are running out of timber. A length of 2x1 just cost my builder nearly a tenner. Should have been about £4.

[San Bernardhinault]

That's been happening here for 18 months, basically since the border between Canada - where most of our lumber comes from - and the US was massively restricted. I can't see any parallel with Brexit...

[Balderdasha]

Fucking hell

Fuck. I don't know if my blood tests count as urgent. They're certainly essential.

Most of our lumber comes from Eastern Europe and China.
So now it doesn't come at all or if it does it's at huge extra cost.

Surely British suppliers of both should be plentiful, especially when it's the right season for raspberries?

[Eggchaser]

Perfidious Scots, withholding their raspberries from the British in a show of independent defiance.

One is transport related I'd guess, the others might not have been picked.

[Lang Spoon]

The People's Republic of Perthshire have declared soft fruit autarchy, border guards at the carse of Gowrie.

Aye. There are fruit and veg farmers up near where one of P's friends lives who are basically saying "come pick as much as you like and pay whatever you like because otherwise it's getting tilled back into the soil."
Oddly all those belligerent quitling Brexiters don't seem as desperate to pick up the slack as they said they were when fucking us over. It seems Dunkirk spirit only Applies when some else has to do it.

They need them for their innovative jams. It's that and Whisky that are keeping the scottish economy afloat. Gotta get that hard currency somehow.
