    Recycled bog roll unavailable from sainsbury on each of our last 4 orders; cleaning products yesterday, with no substitutes available either

    Comment


      Sparkling water unavailable along with some baby products. Previously fresh raspberries were unavailable.

      Cleaning products have been an issue as well.

        I feel like AE's post is leading up to a gag about baby's raspberries/farts being used to make water fizzy.

          Even if the language on the signs weren't visible, it "just doesn't" look like a UK supermarket.

              Looking at the account itself he appears to be a self styled bantz merchant, who has used the stock image from Wikipedia for "grocery store", and then when people have called him out on it, he's tried to use this as proof that everyone else is an idiot apart from him. And now he's gone back to slagging off Labour MPs, cyclists and why skateboarding is in the Olympics.

                Well, there was no shortages of anything at my Tesco this morning, I won't be able to complain online alas...

                  Whereas our regularly Monday evening click and collect is currently showing no bread or milk. They've been limiting quantities and replacing fresh stuff with substitutes for a while now.

                    Food going to waste due to Brexit. A perfect storm could be coming.

                          This government is putting ideological xenophobia ahead of everything else.

                          Also "a resilient domestic workforce"? Like serfs?

                              Is there an EU rule against using the military to stock supermarkets?

                                EU makes more (draft)equivalence decisions, this time for bank capital rules. UK still not on the list. Guernsey, yes. Isle of Man, yes. UK proper, no.

                                  No problem for the Tories and their donors, then, it's all offshore anyway.

                                    Criminal waste of food thanks to Brexit.

                                      And chronic underpayment of HGV drivers by a scumbag industry.

                                        Is it more than before though? Food waste by supermarkets has always been obscene.

                                          It's an additional 48 tonnes a week wasted on top of what they normally throw away. It's actually food binned by the suppliers rather than Tesco, as it never even reaches the supermarkets

                                            Oh, wow, that's totally depressing.

                                              "Emergency Brexit powers for lorry queues to be made permanent
                                              Exclusive: ministers to make traffic provisions indefinite in expectation of further cross-Channel disruption"

                                              Permanent and indefinite aren't the same but the message is.

                                                  Full half-year Irish trade data released today - we now import more from France than GB, where the 2020 Gallic figure had been 31% that of our neighbours. Meanwhile, exports to NI have risen 43%, with imports up a remarkable 77%!

                                                    1m Romanians have applied to the UK Settlement Scheme, behind only Poles numerically, which won't surprise ad hoc.
