I still hold him responsible. Probably hoarding the Cheese and Onion. |

At least you had an empty crisp packet to store petrol in. |

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said it had received reports the site in Leicester was "filling with smoke" at 10:43 GMT.
Walkers said the fire was on the roof of the building but had been brought under control and crews had left the scene.
Workers were evacuated from the factory but the firm said everybody had since been accounted for.

Asda cheese and onion crisps were very scarce the other week. Big packets seem to run out quite quickly. I really like Marks and Spencer’s crisps but as we don’t have one in my town, I’m hoping the next time I’m in one, they’re available. |

"Can’t get Skips for love nor money at our local Iceland.
Or Salted Pom Bears. Cheese & Onion Pom Bears are not a problem though, but who the heck eats them?!"
You eat frozen crisps? |

Just did the weekly shop and was more worried by the lack of eggs and sugar than the crisps but those too were in short supply.
I managed to snaffle the last multipack of own brand crisps though and swaggered to the car with a wry smile and a sense of satisfaction. |

I'm not swapping my crisps for Skips. I got Giant Wotsits too.
They were low on hot chocolate powder for the teenager, though.

"Blame Walkers, they have had a glitch, IT upgrade of all things  so people will buy other brands if Walkers are low on supplying
Didn't they also have a fire this week?"
They did the other day yes but the main production issue has been their IT system failing |

"I live in Spain and there's a shortage of paper and glass!
Wine producers are warning they might not be able to bottle all that they make"
You can take your own bottles to fill at most bodegas - problem solved! |

The glass shortage is affecting things like vials for blood tests here. |

"Change to popcorn. There's no shortage and it's better for you
They'll be a shortage soon if people keep bringing it to threads when someone kicks off or posts about Billie Eilish. "
Then you'd best bulk buy and bring some here quickly then. It's good to share  |

I've only noticed a shortage of Cheese & onion which are the uk's favourite No.1 brand of crisp.
Others are there.....
Oh, go to Asda!
No, I don't work for them or have a relative there!!!! |

Pepsico upgraded all their sites to SAP at the same time. So when it went tits up it did so on a rather big scale! Obvious thing to do would have been a site at a time, iron out any issues then move to the next one! Bit of an own goal that one! |

No, it’s capitalism. Very much capitalism. Communism isn’t when you don’t like something |

At the rate of acceptance of things, there won't be riots until the teabags run out.
