We get to hear even more whinging, moaning, goading, gloating and droning on about politics on various unrelated forums. Always a delight to have more of that!Â
you are not compelled to either read, or commet upon any of it. N.B. The plural of forum is fora, not forums
Both are legitimate spellings. Forums is the more common. Just because fora meets the origins of the word and is correct in Latin doesn't mean the other isn't correct too. We are not strict Latin origins.
As to your comment about reading you totally miss the point. I actually find everyone from both sides of the Brexit as bad as each other and all part of the same joke. Aren't we all?
 It's fun trying to see one side trying to get one up on the other. Also to see which side is winning on different forums. It's even interesting to see the contents of the arguments. Support and opposition comes from all points on the political spectrum and the arguments and views are quite wide I reckon. What I mean is what you focus on tells a lot about you.. whilst others argue your point they often drift into their pov. It's an interesting social experiment.
I guess I'm a spectator in this as I've accepted what's happened and know I can't change it. It's done so I might as well watch the people still tying themselves up in knots over it.Â

I'm not sure that many find empty shelves in supermarkets and food rotting in fields due to lack of workers to be a "joke" . We'll agree to disagree on that one too.
Okay. There was a leader of one of the supermarkets on a current affairs show yesterday being questioned about empty shelves and difficulty in supply chain. If you can find that interview, I can't remember where I watched it, then you might get a view from someone in the know rather than mass media hype.
First off he was at great pains to point out that we need to be careful about playing this situation up. There are issues which are causing difficulties but the industry is used to dealing with difficult situations in the supply chain. He said it is very much a localised issue and not nationwide. There are a few shortages of certain items but overall the stores are well stocked at about 95% of stock.
It was a very informative interview because there's obviously a media interest in selling up stories but to hear from the top of the coal face so to speak paints a very different picture to your doom and gloom.
We all know the issues with driver numbers and other things but the overall message from this supermarket executive was it's not as bad as being made out. Its just a case of working harder behind the scenes to get product to stores and they're doing well at that except in a few products and localised supermarkets. I have no idea if an exec in a supermarket chain is talking the truth or knows what he's talking about. Up to you to decide for yourself.Â
