    Does it come from Europe? Salad will be the thing that goes....ridiculous decision by the French not to allow food haulage. Hope we don’t let anyone in for a while either like NZ did

      Hope it doesnt affect vaccine supplies.

      What a nightmare.

      Could really do with the Oxford vaccine being approved to offer a bit of hope going forward.

        Who would have thought that an EU member state could take sovereign control of their borders. Bonkers!

              Grant Schapps said earlier that it wouldn't as it's not transported on lorries.

                The mrs was in aldi this morning doing our christmas shop and they had plenty of everything. It's always chaos the week before in the run up to christmas. Will probably be that little bit busier as people won't be eating out (and the events of the weekend) but supermarkets generally cater for this sort of craziness.

                    No but it was the item being bought the most and stockpiled when we went into lockdown for the first time last March.

                        It comes from Belgium (probably Zeebrugge) via a container with no driver involvement from the Port.

                            That was the point I was making. There's no ban/disruption to incoming traffic - though the French unions are trying to get it.

                              The disruption to incoming goods is that non brit drivers won't drive a lorry into UK because the won't get out again. And haulirrts get paidby the load and distance not hourly, so a driver and lorry stuck in UK in worthless.
