The missus just rang re her Waitrose shopping delivery and to tell me not accept the substitutions.
So there is no dried cat food, no Warburtons crumpets or bread, no coffee beans and no 3 Barrels Brandy.
I may have to go out and do some panic buying.0 -

Come round now as we still have half a bag of cat food which I’m sure the cats will let you share.0

It’s says with fresh chicken on the bag. I’m not sure how that works in dried cat food. It’s for year 7+ so I hope you are old enough.
This one is trying to convince me it’s 4 o’clock when he gets a pouch of Felix.0 -
No, you must not have ambition to open and maintain stores abroad. It's British shops for British people.

You can 2 pouch’s if you like as the cats have flounced off because I wouldn’t feed then early.surrey_commuter said:

Anyhow shopping arrived missus two boxes which should had substitute bread, crumpets and all the fresh veg and salad. Drive said it must not have been loaded on the van.
So he said if it’s there when gets back to the depot he will bring it later or they will just give us the money back.
I wonder if this a way of trying to fool us that there isn’t a supply shortage and to stop me rushing out to buy all the bread and flour I can carry.

Just need to substitute a few things. So instead of Croissants, we can have scouring pads.0

Not Brexit related but couldn't be arsed to start a new thread. Why are the French in such a huff about this submarine thing? Is it purely a trade issue / lost business as it feels like the UK are more obvious partners for the Aussies. They seem to be really throwing their toys out with the US!0

Why reinvent the wheel? No French involvement. Not that I've noticed any huff.

Losing £70bn (?) and possibly quite a few jobs because of that sounds like quite enough to be upset about it. I guess there's a loss of face too?Pross said:Not Brexit related but couldn't be arsed to start a new thread. Why are the French in such a huff about this submarine thing?
