Bloody Worthing!
Perhaps he wants to get in there and get stocked up before prices go up, panic buying ensues and any civil disorder breaks out?

You've got to make the best of a bad situation, and if we're going down the pan as a country lets do it in style, so to be perfectly honest if no deal happens I'm personally quietly looking forward to the latter, though we won't be able to sing 'you burnt your home town' at Palace anymore as we've been able to post 2011 riots.

Reading this sort of thing would give you the impression - if you didn't know better - that this country was in some sort of a pickle!

in all seriousness what is this run going to be for: perishable goods, likely impacted by delays at port? or non perishables, which wouldn't be impacted by delays?
There is only any point in stockpiling foods which will last a long time. Once the supermarkets' own stockpiles are gone there will be impact.

Fresh food will be scarce for a while.

The head of Tescos said we will be fine if we are happy to live off spam and tinned peaches. I don't share his excessive optimism.

The MPs can stop this by voting for May's deal, of course.

There will only be shortages if people panic buy more than they need.

You should tell that to the heads of the major supermarkets to put their minds at ease. You won't believe what those silly old sausages have been saying. Still what do they know ? :lolol:

"stockpiles" aka known as inventory, which will be replenished continuously. i know some want to believe there will be an effective blockade of ports, but reality is hours of delay to be processed.

all silly anyway, as we know there wont be no deal.

As people dial 999 when KFC shuts down due to supply problems - no.

But *no deal* happens automatically in just 35 days, and May is just engaged in theatrics going back again and again to Brussels.

MPs talk a good game about taking *no deal* off the table, but continually deliver nothing on this.

Not knowing who Dr Oetker is, I'll guess I probably can. I believe they are saying that introducing customs checks and tariffs as a result of no deal, would have far wider reaching effects than that.

Still, we are both in agreement that 'no deal' isn't going to happen, so luckily we will never have to find out :thumbsup:

Jeremy, trying to debate the point with his guests, likened a referendum to when Indiana Jones faced a man showing off his sword skills, and Indy shot him :facepalm:
