Don`t worry, it is not in his nature to reply to difficult questions. :ROFLMAO:
I directed that towards you. Why should any other poster have to (let alone be able to) explain why your visit to the pumps and shops (was it multiple Lidls or just a typo) ? The fact that you were successful doesn't mean that there is no shortage. I regularly see a lot of empty shelves in our local Tesco, Morrison and Lidl. So far I have not needed fuel.

even if there are empty shelves don't mean there is a shortage it just means there are empty shelves, just the same as empty pumps didn't mean there was a shortage.
I have fields with no cows in but that don't mean I am short of cows, I could put some in there tomorrow just to prove it but not today as its raining

But you’re still not prepared to say why.
I've said on many occasions why and just for you will again.
I dont want to be part of the United states of europe, which is where I believe the EU is heading, since joining the eec in 73 there has been a drip drip drip to the end goal. Once again IF every country had a vote on that and the majority vote for it the fair enough and as I'm a Democrat I would have accepted it. We were promised a vote on maastricht, didn't get one,thanks to NF we got one and I voted for in what I believe was our only chance to stop the US of E.
Many times I have also said if we had been asked to remain in the single market etc but there would have been a binding promise to have a vote on every change of treaties then I might have voted differently.

Well at least they are better in something!
Isn't necessity the mother of invention?
If the uk is short of people to do these jobs and there are no more imports available then we will have to find other ways to do the jobs, like the cherry picking machine on countryfile instead of getting people to do the job, slightly ironically that was made in Poland IIRC

Oh don‘t worry. When it comes to cherry picking, nobody will beat a Brexiteer.😏

What does that mean?
For example, to be a success, would you consider that the uk needs to be further up the economy standings than it was before 2016?
That is a very good question, how do you want to benchmark the economic impact of Brexit? I think it is not fair to look solely at the economic standings in isolation as there are countries in Asia, South America and Africa that are growing at way higher rates than mature economies in the West. I think it is much more useful to compare the UK with other European countries.
In 2015/6 the UK economy was one of the best preforming economies in Europe, competing up there with Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden etc. In 2020/1 the UK has one of worst preforming economies, competing down there with Italy, Spain and Greece.
