looking good, food stuck now
Can you please - I'm asking sensibly - tell me why this is? Nothing has changed yet so is this just pre-Brexit increased demand for storage or something else?
Well, no insulin available at the pharmacist here. Tried collecting today. Was hopping we’d get into next year before we hit short term supply issues. Remember, it’s a refrigerated “fresh” good, produced on the continent… so scarily analogous to fresh food.
If you aren’t actively working for a fairer society you are to blame for an unfair society.
Which I and my other half have done all our lives you patronising little troll
Now please - an upside to brexit
tell me why this is?
We tried telling you on previous pages, while you were busy calling Binners a scaremonger for describing reality.

Sensible answer, logistics is screwed, a mix of Covid and no deal prep. container rates are through the roof and a number of carriers are not bothering with stopping in the UK, instead off loading in Rotterdam etc.
If you think about all the container carriers as trains, they had routes these were messed up earlier in the year, with the panic buying of PPE the UK ports gridlocked. etc. ships are in the wrong place, containers are in the wrong place. It's a mess. Then on top of this UK companies are buying( or trying to) for Christmas, there are shortages of toys.
As said it is a mess.
If you don't have anything positive to say and help with Kelvin, please just leave off would you? We've all got enough to deal with. I've asked a polite question and am just looking for a polite and educated response.
Thanks.
Thanks Mrmo, got it.
You sound more and more like a reincarnation of Jambalaya.
But with the delivery of chewkw.
Makes you think...
I’ve asked a polite question and am just looking for a polite and educated response.
The polite answers are on very recent pages, as replies to you, from many of us. Read them, and then ask further questions. Saves a lot of cut’n’paste.
- drivers not wanting to queue unpaid
- manufacturers stockpiling parts
- shifting of delivery methods
- boats not wanting to wait to unload
- fewer passenger flights due to Covid
- peak time for ports in normal times
etc

I was about to put something about 'grownups' showing up, but that was THM.
Amazing how they all morph into one eventually...
As a point, when such stories leak into the mainstream expect all hell to breakout. Explain to people there are food shortages and how it won't to go badly.
It's clear that exsee's ban wasn't long enough.
Nothing more than a low grade troll so best ignored - idiotic posts with added emojis.
- ooops -

Agreed. It got me through Monday with a bit of fun, but enough is enough.
Ta-da exsee...

- oopsie -
Who the **** is exsees? Dont read shit for brains posts...
There are already shortages of computer components at a consumer level, PSU's CPUS's, GPU's, Monitors.
Hell, to go off topic, there's even shortages of electric mountain bikes and other kinds of bikes due to the supply chain disruption/instability.
AND WE HAVEnT EVEN LEFT YET
Dont read shit for brains posts…
On that note… don’t read my last two posts… as I have shit for brains and have posted in the wrong thread. What a…
Edit: I’ve moved them. Sorry.

CPUs were already in that state pre-covid.
Monitors are widely available, just maybe not the exact one that you want.
Not enough GPUs were manufactured with the release of the 3XXX series to match the demand.
This is worldwide.
In fact I just checked in amazon, if I wanted to build a pc tomorrow I'd only struggle finding a current gen GPU.
Prices of SSDs and RAM are still below what they were in 2017.......

Kind of a digression, I agree, however, the point stands, you can't buy what you want any more, you have to take your pick from what happens to be in stock.
The bike industry seems to be the same, and as you say, this is 'just covid probelms', at least, partly. But in a few days it will be brexit and covid supply chain problems.
Double trouble.

I am a boring little troll, please ignore me
okay

This is only partly true, continental Europe has been getting higher deliveries of 3000 series GPU's - both Nvidia and the third party board manufacturers have been prioritising the USA and mainland Europe.

Who could have possibly have thunk it? (sad face)

If you read the article its quite clearly and simply explained.
Double trouble.
Indeed. Not taking up the offer of extending the transition period, while the pandemic was ongoing, made no sense… unless you like trouble that is. And Labour backed Johnson and co on that decision. Led by Donkeys.

The UK population are collectivley locked into what could be descibed as an abusive relationship with thier own leadership.
I'm pretty sure there's already a sydrome named after this.

Blimey I go away for a couple of days and the mob find a new victim to pick on. I joke of course but its illustrative that anyone who steps outside the established groupthink on here gets savaged. I'm only surprised you haven't yet been called an appeaser or nazi sympathiser 😉
In other news I see today there is some optimism about a deal due to Boris giving some ground on the issue of regulatory alignment. What a surprise seeing as no deal and economic and political armageddon seemed so nailed on a couple of days ago. Is it just possible that the established view on here might be a little bit wrong? (That's a genuine question BTW)
Time will tell. If you want to know whose predictions have been best so far there a whole thread to read back through and those predicting no deal or a very scant deal to keep trucks running have been the ones who predicted much of what's happened in the slow motion crash to where we are now, which ain't great is it. (no question mark)
If Binners had put his money where his predictions have been at the bookies he'd be up. I made my bets 33 years ago and have no regrets even if I've been surprised at the level of self destructiveness. I couldn't and didn't predict so little effort would be put into the future relationship with the EU even when I saw the vote result on the TV screen.
Excee's arguments (such as they were or could be inferred from what was written) seemed as much about pressing the appropriate buttons and introducing a new term for those who voted leave. Presumably "remoaner" and "snowflake" are no longer seen as sufficiently annoying.
As for how the negotiations are going - I've honestly no idea whether a deal of any kind is still there for the taking. Regulatory alignment is a funny one - once we'd left we were going to have the best environmental, workers' rights, etc. so any alignment would surely mean the EU stepping up to our level. Or have I just drunk some Kool-Aid without knowing about it?
Is it just possible that the established view on here might be a little bit wrong? (That’s a genuine question BTW)
My view has always been that Johnson will flounce at the last minute get a deal, making huge concessions & pretend it's a victory
The only time I started to doubt that was when they submitted the insane IMB, but now they've withdrawn it there's no reason not to
It will help that he can push it through over Xmas so the ERG headbangers can't figure out the details (they're pretty dim, obvs) & can't vote it down.
Of course it's so late by then that summed sort of extension will be needed, but renamed as optimal alignment transfer window..
Or something equally daft
Ultimately Johnsons deal won't be much better than no deal, and we've still got loads more to negotiate, Farage will make a meal of fishermen being shafted
I’m only surprised you haven’t yet been called an appeaser or nazi sympathiser
Oooh...which switcheroo are you pulling today dazh? I love how cleverly you do it.
The regulatory alignment angle is just to buy some time, the UK will go full deregulated capitalist heaven in due course once the vultures have gotten their plays into place.
I feel there is no intention of honoring any deal in the long term.
I’m only surprised you haven’t yet been called an appeaser or nazi sympathiser
That was a pretty low comment from dazh
Exsee got mocked, because when asked to explain what he was talking about he couldn't
Unless you can make sense of what he wrote daz?

Cockhome syndrome.
which switcheroo are you pulling today
The only switch I've ever done on brexit was trying to understand the other side. It's easy for me to condemn brexit (as I have done many times and still do) when due to my cossetted middle class existence I don't really feel the sharp edges of politics and economics. My (not entirely unrealistic) dreams of retiring to somewhere mountainous in Europe seem to be for the dogs but I recognise and accept that wasn't high in the minds of those who voted for it. C'est la vie.
Unless you can make sense of what he wrote daz?
Nope. I wasn't talking about him, but about how everyone jumped on Kryton for not joining in with the festival of doom. You'll see I asked Exsee what he was going on about, and he never answered. I suspect I know where he's coming from though, because I've been talking about it for a while. I don't agree with him, but that's irrelevant. The sad fact is many do, and until that's unpicked and acknowledged we won't turn the corner away from narrow minded populist self-harming nonsense.
Unless you can make sense of what he wrote daz?
I doubt even exsee can.
C’est la vie.
Get that filthy foreign nonsense off of the thread extolling the magnificence of Boris's Bulldog Brilliant British Brexit.
(Aka Boris's Bullshit Bus hits the Buffers and Burns Brightly).
“The only ever...”
Yeah, right. 😂
I think your best Brexit fast show character is as the weather vane lefty. Our forum pound shop Owen Jones - “...virtually indistinguishable from a dictatorship..” but “...I campaigned for remain...”
To be fair, you do it well. I’m not sure many see through it.
Cockhome syndrome.
That's as good a phrase as any 🙁
My view has always been that Johnson will flounce at the last minute get a deal
Dude, no offence, but we are past that now, now we just have a fake PM, even if he does capitulate, He'll be seen as a joke, a blip in history.
That's no recompence for the peoples lives he's already knakered for a bit of show-boating.
That's obvioulsy so important to boris.
What actualy is important for the PM of the UK? he's a renegade, a despot.. he want's to make his fat poo stained mark in the UK.
In so far as this statement goes...

Are you me?
VvV Actually I don’t think you are VvV

Or maybe I just don’t accept the binary and immutable view of brexit? I’m more than happy to declare myself a conscientious objector in this stupid culture war though. At the end of the day there are more important and bigger things to worry about.
As for the news, the no-deal, the perhaps-edging-to-a-deal, the chief liar and cheat of Downing Street etc - I know I’m having my perceptions and expectations managed, I just don’t know by whom and to what end.
Thanks for the thinly veiled insults Dazh. Welcome back.
At the end of the day there are more important and bigger things to worry about.
I'm not sure you really appreciate the damage brexit is doing
https://ukandeu.ac.uk/the-uk-economy-brexit-vs-covid-19/
We cannot know exactly how Covid-19 and Brexit will affect GDP in the years ahead. Covid-19 may reduce long-run output by more than 1.7%. But the forecasts shown in Figure 2 would have to be drastically wrong to overturn the conclusion that Brexit has a bigger effect on the present value of output than Covid-19.
Even under the pessimistic assumption that Covid-19 reduces long-run output by 5%, its impact on the present value of output is still slightly smaller than no deal Brexit.
After Covid-19 shut down much of the economy, UK GDP fell by 22% in the first half of 2020. It is hard to see this number without concluding that the effects of Brexit pale in comparison. However, the importance of an economic shock depends upon its duration as well as its size.
And simple arithmetic shows that, in present value terms, Brexit is expected to be by far the bigger shock. In cash terms, no deal Brexit corresponds to a £3.3 trillion decline in the present value of output, even assuming there is no future GDP growth.
And you can bet a shiny brexit 50p coin that those at the very bottom will feel it the most, with food bank use & child poverty already on distressingly high, I dont see how you can be so nonchalant about it all.
At the end of the day there are more important and bigger things to worry about.
unmfortunatly this shitstorm of brexit makes everything else worse.
I too am a comfy middle class guy - but I have already seen the damage brexit has done in the healthservice
