"If I can’t get my Pigs in blankets- Christmas ruined! I’m off to M&S a bit later." Stock up. Pigs in blankets and stuffing are the best parts of Xmas dinner. | |||

"why are you so obsessed with stuff like this???? I can get everything i need here in Britain and i havnt heard from any of my friends in the eu who are having problems getting what they need either. Is it your intention to try and make this about brexit ?" Quoting what everyone else can read in the Guardian who reference YouGov polls. Take from it what you like. | |||

"yeah its unbelievable turkeys everywhere and petrol to go and pick them up too.  Who would have thought it.  | |||

" Survey suggests UK residents more likely to have faced shortages than those in France, Germany and Spain. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/dec/22/food-shortages-hitting-britons-more-than-many-in-eu-poll-finds?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other I have mentioned this in the past and always been told that the same shortages applied in France (where I live), Germany etc. I have also been informed (on this very forum) that there are absolutely no shortages in the UK. As I do not live in the UK, I can only accept that as being fact rather than doubt people's experiences on here. This piece is from the Guardian which is not a popular source on the forum but it does quote a YouGov poll. I am sure that many on here will dispute any of this and have seen no impact (to the UK) of Global shortages however, there is no smoke without fire. Unfortunately, with the new customs checks coming into place, shortages are likely to get even worse. " Just been to the shop's and did not see a single empty shelf, refrigerator or freezer. Apart from the odd bit of trolley rage its just like any other year and the prices surprising good too. | |||

In fairness, the Guardian is a woeful newspaper. Not so much fruit in my local supermarket, there's been a shortage of satsumas. But I haven't been concerned enough about it to find out why. | |||

But that’ll be very soecific items and always some reasonable substitute to be had. Xmas cake was bot available in M&S, Waitrose or Tesco though. So there's deffo a shortage of that! Inflation is definitely running rampant. A few staples like method cleaner up 10% almost! | |||

"Supermarkets aren’t stupid They know they need shelves to look full and for basics to be available.. I personally think the shortages in shops will be a shortage of choice. So product lines will be limited. Prices will rise even more. . Building products shortages will carry on due to logistics and cost. There wasn’t a shortage of care workers apparently and yet her we are rushing out visas. Why is that? I thought British workers would appreciate the pay and conditions which now must be on offer after those pesky Europeans have gone.. There’s no money in the pot which is the economic reality of care homes. Hospital beds full of old people who can’t be discharged because there aren’t enough care workers. Result ambulances queuing . . Failing to see any upsides in all this. " someone’s had a shit crimbo lol | |||

Sadly a lot of people are suffering today because of the stupidity of the blind following of three word slogans.
Hope you’re having a good Christmas foxy. | |||

"After the event: So. What food shortage did Christmas actually have for you? I noted the Vol au Vent Cases (but I made them with jus-rol instead). I could not identify anything else at all that was missing or in short supply. "Not a single shortage or even difficult to find item for me. Seems the survey mentioned by the OP was way off the mark | |||
