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.
Down to your patronising best I see. I work for Waitrose. I am well aware of "supply chain issues "
Or even the purchase of the likes of the Daily Mail, etc.
Haha! I get a free newspaper when I shop at Waitrose. I usually get the Times to do the puzzles in the middle section, and use the rest to cover the floor when we are painting. If I need bigger coverage, I get the Telegraph. Does anyone know which has the softest paper, and the least transferrable printers ink?
I always thought the Daily Record [a popular source up here of all things of a serious journalistic nature ] was really just for using in place of bog roll. I believe The Sun also qualifies there...
Maybe that would be a cheaper alternative if stocks run low....
I think they would all be better than Izal - less slippy and at least you would be making a point about their journalistic qualities

Yes definitely do the crosswords/puzzles before other use. It helps the Sewer Rats too if they happen to be stuck on a certain clue. As for the softest/least transferable ink, I think you will need to try a Poll - there have been odder ones over the years
I've just had a visit from a friend whose cleaning company are going to come help me out. After 10 years she's been given notice to leave her rented house. She's extended her search to FIFTY miles and there's nothing. A house she tried to view in Bude had 200 , yes, 2 hundred, inquiries. What a mess we're in.
