Tim Martin

[ynnafymmi]

I see Tim Martin is moaning because his pubs have run out of beer(thanks to Brexit),he is moaning because his pubs have run out of staff(thanks to Brexit).Its a good thing that Tim Martin wasnt a leading Brexiteer,wasnt it?Ohh,wait a minute...

> where they're from is irrelevant to those logistics

LOL! Of course it isn't, when where they're from is preventing them from being where we need them to be!

[naomi24]

Ellipsis, We need X number of drivers to shift X amount of cargo. Where those drivers come from has no bearing on the logistics of that movement. As I said, perhaps we'll talk again once you understand that.

[Ellipsis]

OK :)

having a spot of bother hiring new staff too. People may have heard how they're treated, as Gromit suggests.

A good thing Covid came along at the right time.How else could Brexiteers explain away the massive damage that Brexit is causing if they had no other causes to blame.Brexiteers are fooling no-one except for themselves.

what a spurious comment

[ynnafymmi]

You know what i mean.Brexit was bad enough without Covid.Covid was bad enough without Brexit.The both of them together are a double whammy that must be one of the biggest catastrophes to ever hit Britain.

"we'll talk again"..

I know that song.. "we'll talk again, don't know where, don't know when".. "but until we talk again one had best avoid each other".

Spurious reply.. 'u sour pis' is an anagram of spurious!

Rage Finagle is an anagram of..?
(Finagle definition: obtain by dishonest or devious means)

Recently had a van crash into him while out in search of fuel.

France-24 on you-tube - watch out ! ( ou attention !)
modern forrin used....
and a different stress - Russian troops in Mali get a decent airing. RDC ( Congo silly ( there are two)) in complete chaos. Tunis and Algeria moiling.

[Peter Pedant]

oh dear - read it ynni ( do I have to then?) and it makes sense (yawn). The tired old one-liners are the best

[Peter Pedant]

causées par la pandémie et le Brexit – le gouvernement a concédé que c’était un facteur "supplémentaire" –, avec des problèmes de livraison touchant aussi les rayons des supermarchés, les chaînes de restauration rapide ou encore les pubs.

I translate as ze gubmint he say: we cocende Brexit is an added problem, with shortages in the supermarkets, pubs oh and fast service joints

o god I dont believe this ! I see a clarificaaaaaation coming!

where the drivers are is central to the logistics ("the commercial activity of transporting goods to customers.") if they drivers are outside (*) and you have locked them outside. Result - misery, no movement (+)

(*) metaphor for "they have been excluded by Brexit, they are in Eastern Europe, driving and earning loo-lah"

(+) thx to Mr Micawber, income......

Remember forest fires, last week - the water is 100 m away in the sea. So there is no problem with water ( in the wrong place ). So there are no forest fires - simples! The whole thread got flushed darn da toilet, pun intended
