UK goes into meltdown as everyone realises it means we can no longer get PG Tips.

I was more concerned about your wine, is it a supply problem, logistics is my forte. Tell you what, I'll get one of our drivers to stop by.

Get online to Aldi, they deliver wine!!

Oh no kitty I would be more worried by the wine! We have a subscription with Majestic!

It's pretty much the end of the world without wine. I have just ordered my lockdown supply from the bottle club

KittyLester, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. You'll need to think out of the winebox at times like this. We get all of our wine from Laithwaiths and rely on the local Co-op and Sainsbury's delivery for Yorkshire Gold. Good luck, my thoughts are with you.

Just checked my delivery and there are all sorts of substitutes, instead of tomato juice they have sent PRUNE juice.

That’ll keep you going.

The really upsetting thing is that I gave dd1 some tea a couple of weeks ago as we had loads and she had none. Daft idea that was.

Prune juice is revolting!! harri.

?????

So is tomato juice.....

You should allow them to substitute during lockdown, at least you would get something!

Cabbie21 that'll keep you going.
i like that, ha ha ha

It will be a sad day when there is a shortage of prune juice as well. ?

Just received my Sainsburys order with no rice. Swap you some PG tips for Rice kittylester?

I once ordered a chocolate ice cream bombe from sainsburys (last xmas) as an alternative desert cause neither of my sons like xmas pud(!) What i got was a bath bomb! I asked delivery driver "whats this?I didnt order it" he peered closely at it, then at my invoice & said "its a substitute, for the ice cream bombe!" I said "well take it back, i dont even have a bath!" ?? (walk-in shower only here) ive had allsorts of weird & wonderful subs for stuff over the years- makes me wonder if those choosing shopping have any sense, let alone common sense- or maybe they're doing it on purpose& laughing like drains bagging them up! ??

(Toyed fleetingly with idea of serving it up to sons on xmas day & telling them it was sainsburys idea of their 'pudding'? ..but decided against it) ...??

Ive just ordered 2 brilliant wine advent calendars to be delivered to my 2 sons and their wives as a lockdown treat .... redwhiteandcru.wine

Just had my tesco delivery, no substitutions. Mind you I didn't order wine or tea. I did get my chococino ?

No sausages for me from Ocado today! Just fancied a nice sausage.

Re the substitutes - apparently the "pickers" don't have a choice. There is an automatic substitute and they have to use it.

How much wine are some folk drinking to need subscriptions??ive loads left in kitchen from every time i buy a 'dine in' meal offer from M&S.And yorkshire tea (even gold) is horrid.& im originally a yorkshire woman.P.G is best! Thats why theres none left.? Presumably Boris gave shops a few days leeway to order more stuff in but they did not.....?
