We have a shortage here in NL as well, and we're still part of EU, so I am not sure if/how Brexit is related. The job is being paid shit here in NL, and its high stress, especially since Covid-19. Its like blaming the current inflation on Covid-19; well, no, its the gas price which has gone up. And that is because of an artificial shortage by OPEC. I'm not sure why they do that though... I can only guess.
- Symbiote 5y agoDo you have empty shelves in supermarkets as a result? Closed restaurants? There's a shortage all across Europe, but as far as I have heard it's only in the UK where it's sufficient to cause problems with food distribution. (Natural gas prices have reduced food production in the Netherlands: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-30/your-tomatoes-may-cost-more-as-gas-prices-hit-dutch-greenhouses https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-30/your-toma... but would we have seen the result of that yet?)
- tremon 5y agoYes to closed restaurants, but that's because of Covid response, not supply shortage. Supermarkets have reported no problems keeping stock.
- Fnoord 5y agoOP and I were talking about a shortage in healthcare workers... > The great British public still have their heads in the sand in the wake of lorry driver shortages, nursing staff shortages and doctor shortages. Restaurants open or closed is a luxury; /care Some food not available, might be a luxury, but the vids I've seen were quite shocking.
