I don’t do queuing I’ll just get the wife to order from Sainsburys as normal if there’s something missing from the delivery, just order again the week after. It happens now it’s no hassle. For some reason always have a stockpile of tins of beans, soup, and non perishables in stock, my parents did it and it’s something for some unknown reason I still do.

It’s called forward thinking mate.......in the event of Brexit making us see scenes like Russia in the 70’s and 80’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The past five years have proved that the one thing this country is not short of is dimwitted and easily influenced shit-for-brains...And I include folk of all hues in that cohort. The scenario painted by Birch - a 'run' on the supermarkets is not some far-out proposition imo, but what would he know? The day of the 'expert' is over, if you want to know what time it is ask any Cotswolds old boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, currently unless a lot of Tory Brexiteers (and even some remainers are lying) she will need about 80-100 Labour MPs to rebel. That looks pretty tough at this stage. She will have to quell the rebellion in her own party on this. But every day another Tory MP comes out saying they won't support it.

It only takes 2 days of heavy snow and the supermarket shelves are empty so it wouldn't surprise me one jot if panic buying sets in, at least for a short period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Ok gents, enough of the dead cat stuff, back to the real matter in hand. Given we’ve now been told that no option leaves the UK in a stronger position by the chancellor, I take it this is more fearmongering rather than the head of the treasury? Im just interested in your continuing optimism as a public we learn more each day about the reality of our situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly 46% smaller is it ? Not forgetting, these are just scenarios for now.......it’s not a given, nothing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always beggars belief the queues at places that open again in a couple of days. If the deal is voted down on the 11th, we could have two weeks of absolute stupidity. I'm on the last of my tators now but thankfully my first attempt at growing sprouts has been quite successful so Christmas dinner is saved.

It suggests "chequers" has been ditched. But the deal we're taking is very close to chequers. Very odd. Unless I'm missing something.
