Rather pay than give in

Do you remember the distraught nurse who had just come off a very long shift, GrannyGravy, to find nothing left on the supermarket shelves for her dinner?

It was stockpiling at the beginning of the pandemic which caused a multitude of problems. In my opinion it is utterly selfish.

I can still see the image of the elderly lady distraught because the supermarket shelves were empty.

Don't blame you vegan. As I said to my daughter, if things unexpectedly turn out ok OR if there is dire need, we can donate to the local food bank.

We’ve been stocking up for ages. It makes sense, as even if there aren’t shortages, there will be price rises. May do a wine buy today.

Supermarkets already showing shortages despite trying to stockpile upon the advice of BJ. But don't let that get in the way of project fear gaslighting.

As long as the usual ostrich subjects don't start bleating about hardships later.

And as it can’t be brioche what would you suggest?
Eccles cake?

lemongrove

Haha, then let them eat cake!

Yeh!!!

Haha, then let them eat cake!

Granary bread you say Lemon? Don't know if that will be available post Brexit........? runs and hides......

Completely agree about the hysteria

It's just not the same with gluten-free

What a posho you are GG13.... I douse mine with tomato K.
?
Although I do like granary bread.

lemongrove I do like a fish finger sandwich, granary bread and homemade tartare sauce, hits the spot every time!

I remember the "Cod Wars" when Iceland again expanded her maritime exclusive economic zone, this time to 50 miles

Fish finger sarnie anyone? With a glass of
True enough Daddima ( about Naval fisheries protection)
But the truth isn’t always wanted by excitable people.

Exactly Bodach calling these vessels gun ships is borderline mass hysteria.

Bodach ?

Thank you Bodach - calm and reasoned and informative.

I'm somewhat bemused by all the hysteria about "British Warships being sent to sink EU Trawlers!";"Gunboat Diplomacy! "Not in my name!" etc etc. The RN's Portsmouth-based Fishery Protection Squadron is actually one of the most long-standing units in the Navy. Even Nelson served in it, for pity's sake! These Patrol vessels will be deployed to do no more nor less than they have been doing this year, last year, the year before and so on - ensuring that fishing is carried out safely and legally in UK (other than Scottish) waters by British and foreign fishing boats with the appropriate licences. Calm down everyone...

*GrannyGravy*, also if you contradict some of the inaccurate posts.......

Agreed ??

GrannyGravy, also if you contradict some of the inaccurate posts.......

That may be why I was confused.

lemongrove & Marydoll unfortunately reasonable posts do not get answered.
If you have something positive to contribute it doesn’t get acknowledged.

I live in hope that we can move on post Covid and Brexit, to continue in this way will not be productive or healthy.

Fanny by Gaslight was a completely different film, with James Mason, Phyllis Calvert. Stewart Granger, Jean Kent, (and John Lauriefrom Dad's Army as a brothel proprietor) - but same year 1944. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPOaSfH2TwY

What is Gaslighting?
Gaslighting is psychological manipulation that makes the recipient question their feelings, instincts, and even their sanity. It is one of the worst forms of dirty fighting, and it is used by both men and women. Gaslighting includes a variety of techniques, such as:

Pretending not to understand when you do.
Labeling your partner’s thoughts as crazy or imagined.
Questioning the other person’s memory of events when they remember correctly.
Pretending to forget what actually occurred when you actually remember.
Denying promises that you know you made.
Trivializing the other person’s feelings as being too sensitive when their reaction is somewhat normal.

On this thread? ? Never!!
