Second time lucky with this thread, aussie_h?

If the 70s return, maybe Don Mason could score that penalty against Peru. 

 

Or maybe Billy Bremner score against Brazil.

Its almost like The Winter of Discontent.

 

But different somehow....

I was lucky to have grown up with 60's, 70's & 80's music, the best era music wise.

Did we have an ambulance crisis in the 70s as well?

[Mikey1874]

A lot of health matters are better. Lots of progress in 40 years.

 

The internet is quite cool too.

As long as Hearts don't return to the standard of the 70's.

We had every crisis in the 70s. People would be apoplectic nowadays when the power cuts happen at 10.30pm at night.

Keep the contents of your fridge/freezer to a minimum just in case.

That's a waste, do it right and cook them over a slow fire, drain the fat for use in the oil lamps and then eat the flesh, hell make sure you get your moneys worth out of the plebs.  👍

Its all good though BJ said its only a short term problem. ****ing insane that in 2021 we have shops with no food and people have to choose between food and warmth. On a positive note Co2 suppliers have started production again So poultry might come back on the shelves. 

[Taffin]

Where are people having food shortages?!?

 

I went to a different shop today for my big shop and it was the same as the one I usually go to... absolutely plenty of food.

 

Am I just being really and people are actually struggling to buy food or is it all media drama?

No theres loads of shops where the shelves are empty. Not sure down in Edinburgh or that but up in Aberdeen and the shire , Aldis and Lidl are struggling then Asda/Tescos etc are starting to have big gaps on shelves

No food shortages doon here in Edinburgh. A couple of empty shelves with random items granted.

 

I never saw any at all when I was in Berwick at the weekend.

 

Maybe it's a UK government conspiracy to starve the Scots

It's a media drama as far as I am concerned. I haven't had to go without.

Same. Assume it can't be completely made up but not sure exactly where it's happening.

There's certainly a few lines that appear to be out of stock down here too but until there's not enough food to go around it just feels a bit OTT the way it's being portrayed.

 

Not having certain things doesn't equal a food shortage...you just eat something else that is in stock. It is a concern though if it continues to get worse, I've just not really noticed it yet 👍

I couldn't even tell you what was on the one or two empty shelves that I saw. I've always been able to buy what I wanted

Our local co-op is prob missing on a good day half of its ambient food lines and most of its its fresh stuff , Im not sure if its lack of food or lack of transport though. What you lot are saying would suggest for now its maybe the latter.

In fairness, my local co-op would see that as BAU from my experience, so I'd be none the wiser going into mine 😂

 

I don't use a shopping list or get online deliveries where I'm expecting certain things so I'm maybe missing more things being out of stock as if it isn't there to be picked up I'm probably not cognisant of it's unavailability.

 

Got the big shop in at lunch today...freezer filled to bursting so I'll make it a while yet fortunately. Maybe should have got more tinned goods though just in case!

My local co-op is the same, been like that for over 3 months now, before the Euros it began to run out of stuff and still is, yesterday no fresh meat to be had, today plenty, but there was little to no fruit & veg today, last week plenty and so on, been like this for over 3 months now.

 

The bigger supermarkets Asda, Tesco & Aldi in Galashiels always seem to have plenty food, might be the odd line here and there with either low or no stock but it is only a few lines. 

 

As others have said it's the fecking media stirring up the scaremongering again, in fact I'm fairly sure footage they showed the other day on Sky News showing empty shelves was the same or similar footage which they showed back at the very start of the pandemic when the bog roll hoarders were in full flow.
