There will be a shortage of toilet paper this Xmas.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SHIT !!!!!!
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
Who would have thought that an EU member state could take sovereign control of their borders. Bonkers!
We may look back on the UK's time in the EU as our salad days.....
Don’t fret, I hear they are opening up again now else 400 tonnes of Brie will cause a stink there side
No but it was the item being bought the most and stockpiled when we went into lockdown for the first time last March.
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.
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.
What, vaccine supplies to France from the UK ?
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.
Grant Schapps said earlier that it wouldn't as it's not transported on lorries.
Is Cardiff market open? I was hoping to get some fish......
Oxford one is already here and comes from India anyway.
Fingers crossed this is authorised and proves effective against the new strain.
Hope so. Wife spoke with her sister earlier - she works in Management in the NHS in Chelmsford [ NHS East of England]. Anyway, her bosses have told her the intention is to maintain the lockdown until beginning of March - at least. Happy Days !
Ive just accepted this is the way it is now for the Winter months and anything else is a bonus.
Just announced on LBC.............the Cardiff and Vale Health Board ran out of critical care beds on the weekend. Is that to do with the closure or semi closure of the Nightingale Hospital at the Millenium Stadium before the new Nightingale at the Heath is completed or something else?
Something else.
It's partly due to staff availability. Too many staff are off sick or isolating, so the number of available beds has been reduced (according to LBC twitter).
I didnt think the Nightingale hospitals were critical care, but happy to be corrected.
Staff illness is a real problem. In one hospital near me (in South West England) there are 920 staff on the sick. That is why NHS workers should have been in the top priority for receiving the vaccine. My son is in the second tranche in England but am unsure whether the English arrangements apply in Wales.
I very much doubt it. It was said there were not many critical care beds a couple of days
ago with the main issue being not enough staff to manage the beds. So many off isolating etc.
Think there is 60 in the Heath, with at least 20 free last week
Did they ever have enough staff and im talking throughout the UK to staff these Nightingale Hospitals. Looked a brilliant idea and got up really quickly.
With all these staff shortages how did they expect all these hospitals to be staffed if all the beds were needed.
