I don’t think you have to be a raving conspiracy theorist to believe the media is controlled in some way. Since super-injunctions exist it’s a fact.With so many different media sources. Is it even possible to tell them what they can and can’t report?
I’d happily eat horse if it was available. I was dropping some dead sheep at the kennels last month and the kennelman had just shot a horse. My mouth was watering watching him skin it I tell you.
Even worse!14 wasn't it? 120bn a year
This is probably the root cause of it. Retailers having a good long look at their margin per unit sold and thinking if they don't have sufficient haulage we will just stock the things we make the most money on.
You can cut tomahawks out of a horse carcass.You've been in too many backwater countries for too long but do let me know if you kennelman ever has any tomahawk steaks available.
Walkers have stopped production on 200 lines , pretty similar throughout the industryIt's not supermarkets ordered a 32pack box of walkers ready salted off Amazon 10 days ago. Said 2 days delivery. Still not here. Was in a 24 hour corner shop in a city last night and they didn't have any either.
It's not a big problem, nobody's going to starve. But Christmas will.be interesting when pressure on for everything.
Doesn’t taste pissy enough to be horse.I was at Lidl and the tomahawk steaks were plentiful, then I read the small print and it turns out it was tomahawk horse steak so I left well alone.
Why would you want toOn the plus side, you can now buy a 5kg bag of red lentils at sainsburys.
Just as a point of interest ...Has the media been told to stop reporting food shortages?
Has anyone else noticed a shortage of food items in restaurants and shops recently? Maybe its just me being stupid.
Not essential by any means! But shortages I have noticed and on my mind are walkers ready salted crisps and diet coke.
Anyone else noticed anything?
Use ocardo. We do every week. I’m 5 years think we have had about 5 substitutes…. You always get an upgradeThis is why I won’t do online shopping. I’ve tried them and every single one has missing items and that was before coronavirus even existed. I just find the whole experience crap having to stay in for the delivery and then not getting what you wanted.
Give over, it's the Express and Daily Wail that are the worst culprits!What, a shortage of Walkers Crisps !!! What is the world coming to, it'll be Pigs in Blankets next, god forbid anybody wraps a bit of bacon round a sausage a corners the market.
Their will be a food panic buying when the left wing press decide so !!
Well we've got covid and fuel price increase here in France but no empty shelves.a combination of brexit, covid and energy prices, have caused the demise of the 'just in time' delivery system', the ultimate cost saver devised, brilliant.
But now it's well and truly fudged, and that means more stock has to be held in virtually every supply industry, from tescoe's down, with margins cut to the bone everyway possible, who has the money, to increase their stock, be it ag suppliers, corner shops s/mkts, etc, the totals required are simply mind bogglingly huge.
As for dropping prices paid to us, stuff will simply not be produced, there isn't anything left to cut out.
But, if product prices do rise, everybody, except contractors, will grab it, leaving us still at the heaps bottom.
Errr- we did. We had plenty of hungry people back in the day!Well. We didn't have food shortages when small family farms, local abattoirs, and wholesalers were in charge of the operation.....
So now big " farming " companies, large food processing plants, and supermarkets can't get cheap foreign labour for their empires.
I'll leave others to decide where the blame lies......
Ooh but then inflation would go up.Same result certainly !
Although if food, per se, were actually short then shelf prices would be doubling or trebling....
