    The Daily Mail :rolleyes: is reporting fears of fresh food shortages due to the bad weather. I've heard reports of empty shelves in supermarkets over here and milk and bread being rationed in some places.

    Just wondered what the situation is where you are?

    why rush on something that'll go sour / stale?

    er... should they not ration stuff like flour... so you can prep yer own bread when needed?

    you can do without milk....

    I really don't see the point in freezing it, or causing a panic of a product people can make themselves.

    The situation here is that we don't generally read British right-wing scaremongering tabloids unless it's for the sarcastic lulz.

    Because it's a load of scarmongering ****e, basically.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I tried to open a retirement home once, but it was met with fierce objections.

    Seemingly they didn't approve of the name.

    I thought "God's Waiting Room" was a great monicker.

    It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way they are conspiring to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

    I'd say its more a case that the Daily Mail has bought shares in Tesco Ireland and wants to create a shortage, thus emptying tesco's shelves making a nice little profit for end of year dividends.

    Fresh food gone today, tins and dried food by the end of the week. On to the human flesh before New Years I'd say.

    Was that article sponsered by Tesco?

    Food companies stock pile this week as do supermarkets, another crap article bought to you by the Daily Mail, try reading a decent paper.
