Does anyone know what this actually means if the Brexit talks go awry. This is not a political post but I'm wondering what information is out there regarding our food supplies. It wasn't easy getting hold of certain foods during the first lockdown, are we in for more of the same? I can manage without tinned tomatoes, is there going to be an unexpected run on baked beans?!

I doubt that very much JV. It’ll not stop me traveling. This Country is great during decent weather in Spring-Summer-early Autumn, if the weather here was guaranteed I’d still want to travel๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

No panic buying here. I keep a well stocked cupboard and home made food in freezer.

I think it is about shops and stock piling? and your first sentence says the closeness of shops?

I was replying to another poster who shops regularly and I was just recounting an experience when we could not get to a shop .. here, in the UK... quite the opposite from your point. Never mind... I don't wish to derail the thread with explanations.

I've noticed that some of the super markets have some shortages and smaller amounts of stock than pre-CV19.  Some of it may be down to them only stocking for the current reduced foot fall but some items such a particular tea we like, have just been unavailable for some weeks.

I cannot imagine not being able to get to a shop where I live even if shank's pony was the only option.

The same JVB, we decided many years ago that where we live would be a boon to us in our dotage. The motorhome enables us to get away to give variety for however long we feel so inclined.

The EU have just published their contigency plans for a no deal, one of them is:

"To ensure basic connectivity for road freight and passenger transport for six months, provided the UK does the same"

There possibly won't be as much disruption as the gloomiest forecasts.
