Ì think The Army have helped before, several years ago during the Tanker drivers strike plus driving the Green Godess's during the Firemans strike in 78 and loads of other stuff like floods ect. Our Armed Forces are always on hand to help. UNSUNG HEROES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I guess you didn't spot the joke, the article you linked says "Nike and Costco warn of product shortages and delays" so I was making a joke about eating Nike products, sorry it went over your head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was a serious one to point out that the current supply-chain problems are not unique to the UK - or even Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't seem to be any supply chain problems in this part of rural France, a good 40 minutes from a motorway, over an hour to something the size of Worksop and over two hours to a city - and we have 4 decent size supermakets (all selling petrol / diesel) within 20 minutes drive, plus 2 Lidls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm amazed the BBC are finally getting their heads out of the 'EU-good/UK-bad' sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - Nike and Costco must represent a fraction of one percent of sales round here, and in many other parts of Europe and the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
