You are talking out you arriss, Mottie. "Stock levels are different at those stores" isn't the same as no stock, and as I said until about 2 years ago the chillers were generally full any time we visited with maybe the exception of Saturday afternoons. The same sort if thing is happening at large supermarkets as well.
My "trade" is joinery - more specifically shopfitting joinery. For the last few months I've been doing night foreman cover for a local shopfitting firm 1 to 3 nights a week - mostly it's just covering small works - a bit of floor tiling, stud walling, decorating, maybe some electrical work or ventilation work, etc. Basically jobs that require a First Aider with an SMSTS who can do the paperwork. The job takes me all over the North West and Yorkshire, so I've recently been in several Tescos, Sainsbury's and Asdas, mainly the big shops, but sometimes also convenience stores. I get to talk with the night managers and you hear all sorts. The stock issues I referred to are hitting them as well, just as hard, but with a team of night merchandisers they have a better chance of disguising it. That's all. But, hey, you go on believing what you believe in the "success" of Brexit. Some of us live in a real world where we actually notice real problems

I’m saying no supermarkets are affected solely because of Brexit. Small supermarkets carry small quantities of stock so they run out quicker.
So, it was an 'extra' and not a proper one then. You say you live in a small village. Based on that, you could easily say your cock is the biggest one around for 20 miles. Nobody to compare it with so it means nothing.

A Tesco 'extra'. Yeah, So big it can’t fill the food shelves apparently and had to stock them with coop groceries because that’s what’s in your picture.

Another stupid reply ?
So little supermarkets carry less stock.
Big supermarkets do lawnmowers and clothes.
Where should I go for food ?

Not my pictures.
I think you are more than a little confused.
But where should I go for food if small supermarkets and big supermarkets are not ?
My mistake. So, no pictures from you as well then. Your post counts for nothing.
Seems like all those that make the claim are unable to post pictures. JohnD can’t even name the store and branch and the only pictures are from a convenience Store. OK.

Co-op Locals are basically like Tesco Express shops. In this part of the world we have a number smaller 5,000 to 10,000ft (front of house) Co-op supermarkets serving small towns with populations of 10 to 20k where the Co-op is still the only supermarket, although Burnley has a massive Co-op (Leo's). THESE ARE NOT CO-OP LOCALS. So you are asking the wrong person. The photographs were taken in a shop which is about 7,500ft FoH and is the only supermarket in town. It makes no difference, though, the bigger shops are also having supply problems, it's just that you are blind to them, and you seem to have a very closed mind to any such issues. Try working at one and talking to the staff, and you'll see different
Feck me. All I’m asking is for someone, anyone, to post a timed and dated picture of an empty shelf of regular goods in their supermarket and I will go and take a picture of the same shelf in my supermarket to back up what I say. Obviously don’t take a picture of an empty shelf of quails eggs or some other rarely stocked item.

You asked for a photo. You got two. Your problem is that you refuse to accept reality
