Re: How are you preparing for Brexit?

All the above! But we don’t know do we? For us, the stores are to allow for a supply hiccup, or for transition to a slightly more austere situation. As a gardener, I am aware that this will happen right at the start of the old, traditional hungry gap. So it will be 3 months until U.K. crops start co...

Re: How are you preparing for Brexit?

Well , the Brexit med stash has come in handy. Mrs J has had to start taking ‘Flu’ capsules as she feels like ####. I will replace that with two more I think. Glad I got off my backside on that one. Reading the news now, about EU emphatically refusing further negotiations, emergency centres,haulage ...

Children's humour excused. :lol: No need to worry,my point was that we ( the business) cannot get those products.Not until slaughtering starts again in the New Year.It doesnt mean they are short in supply for retail.

Re: Stocking up.

Very powerful to have a real life example from a known and trusted person, jansman, thanks for that. And relating it to our own storage issues is a stroke of genius :shock: never thought of it that way! Hope you don't have to work too late tonight.
