Jacksgranda Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 16 minutes ago, superbigal said: Belgium’s British supermarket Stonemanor has announced that it will have to close both premises this coming weekend due to depleted stock levels caused by import issues. This temporary measure comes as a result of issues in the supply chain for the stores, which have long served brits in Belgium everything from Irn-Bru and Dandelion and Burdock to frozen goods and toiletries they miss from home. Thanks to a connection with a butcher in Ireland, sausages, bacon and black and white pudding will be back in the store as of 9 February. This news follows a remarkably widespread cry in Brussels as many tried to get haggis – love it or hate it – in time for Burns night, but found supplies lacking. It'll probably be a lot tastier than the shite they got previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I've never heard of that Supermarket before - if the butcher is supplying only two supermarkets he should be able to maintain the quality - butchers meat is far better in every way (apart from price), from the mass produced, pre packaged stuff - but if he's supplying a chain of supermarkets there might not be a great difference in quality. I always knew the local butcher(s) were better, but lockdown has convinced me not to get supermarket meat again. (Although my wife does like Tesco's lean mince.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 27 years all you had to do was book the truck on Stenna or P&O there and back. We are not sending over Food Spirits Tobacco just products for use in the Vehicle Building and Engineering Industries. Since 1st January the increased paperwork between online declarations, adding EORI numbers of Consignor and Consignee, Commodity Codes, obtaining shipping approvals via Government Gateway, details of packages and weights to each Consignee, has become a full time job for someone three days a week. It is ridiculous. We are travelling from one part of the UK to another, there should be no need for all this shit, all we as a company want to do is provide a service and try and make some money. If this is what happens as a result of Brexit, god forbid the mess there would be if we ever became independent That's a wee shame. However you appear to be happy for this state of affairs to continue. Nae luck. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have worked pre internet days to say one thing in Scottish media and another down South but it won’t work these days. As Brexit bites don’t expect any love bombing from the Mail, Express, Telegraph or Times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
