It’s quite striking seeing what status the EU has outside of the EU sometimes.

one of my pet hates is that the people in charge of "Offers" at Waitrose don't communicate with the people who sort the ordering of supplies. This means I am faced with an empty shelf because somebody else bought 2 and got one free.ddraver said:If we're basing national trends off of our most recent supermarket visit I can say that the Sainsburies in studentville was empty of fresh salad.

So this is not the case, they are usually part of the same team if not the same people. The challenge is knowing how much to order is very much an art not a science and they are interested in profitability, not abundance.surrey_commuter said:

I actually knew that but they behave like they don't. Waitrose has the worse availbility of all the supermarkets. I suspect it is because they have retrofitted buildings so don'y have the storage spacerick_chasey said:

It's particularly annoying if you need a certain item and were planning to buy it regardless, but it's sold out because they've put it on sale.surrey_commuter said:

For fresh food often the challenge is the offers are decided upon much sooner than knowledge about the harvest, if the harvest is bad they run out of supplies but they will still run the offer.surrey_commuter said:

The out of stock is not necessarily a failure.
Constrained supply is often a deliberate tactic to create more demand.0 -

It could well be a failure but what seems a failure isn’t always the case.0 -
Deliberately selling out of stuff via special offers feels more likely to be a c*ck up than some cunning plan, simply because if you p*ss off customers often enough, they become ex-customers.0

‘Creating demand’ is not some obscure, rarely used phenomenon.
But hey ho.0 -

Will the desire to find any benefits from Brexit count for more to a typical Brexiteer than acknowledging that immigration is a good thing?

Telegraph article is also interesting in that it links to "abolishing red tape" are to articles about how things might be in the future rather than what red tape has already been abolished.
Also interesting is that the changes to liberalise immigration policy referenced can only relate to non-EU immigration (as whilst in the EU, immigration policy re EU nationals was completely liberalised already). And whilst in the EU, the changes to immigration policy could have been made anyway, so the liberalisation of policy is not, by definition, as Brexit benefit as it's nothing to do with Brexit.0 -

Brexit freedoms have made the UK a magnet for highly-skilled migrants, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Its data showed that abolishing quotas and red tape after leaving the European Union has enabled Britain to lure more global talent.
The international organisation said the UK enjoyed the largest improvement in "talent attractiveness" in 2023, moving up nine places to 7th since 2019 and climbing above the US and Canada for the first time.
The OECD said the rankings reflected the UK's decision to abolish its quota for highly skilled workers as well as the success enjoyed by many overseas workers in the country."

Indeed not, but non-EU immigration policy was not constrained by anything other than UK politics whilst the UK was in the EU, so it seems "strange" (some might say "most likely not thought through properly") to attribute any change in non-EU immigration policy to "Brexit Freedoms" (either real or imaginary).Stevo_666 said:I don't believe that the OECD has a pro Brexit agend.

Most of the internationally mobile talent is going to the US as the pay is just worlds ahead there. Cannot over emphasise how, for those high end roles, much the US pays by comparison nowadays.

I don't believe that the OECD has a pro Brexit agend.
I do despair that the Remain campaign did not mention the fact that EU rules stopped non-EU immigration0
