- tonyedgecombe 5y ago>I’ve been in many shops and they’re fully stocked. Every fuel station has petrol and diesel Yet I cycled past a closed petrol station yesterday and couldn't buy everything on my shopping list last week. Neither your point nor the article are correct of course and a lot depends on where you live in the country.

- gmac 5y agoEvery petrol station I’ve driven past in the last week has had giant queues or (more commonly) been shut for lack of fuel. SE England.

- Socketier 5y agoHaving less variety of food l and "having to eat cupboard food" don't really go hand in hand. It's not essentials, they're luxurious options.
- dTal 5y agoI'm glad you think meat is an inessential luxury item. I suspect it's a viewpoint we're all going to have to embrace before long.

- cbozeman 5y ago"Thanks Brexit"... and not "thanks worldwide supply chain disruption partially caused by a pandemic and ridiculous overreaction to it".
- zimpenfish 5y agoA few Gladwells of anecdata: our local ASDA (big but not a megastore) has had reasonably frequent empty shelves in various products. I think the medium-large Tesco down the road has also had empty shelves (but that's secondhand from people I know who shop there.) Similarly secondhand, from family up north, the major supermarkets up there have been missing products.
