    I meant "comparatively" not totally empty
    noticeably too - even compared to the last brexit caused year of empty shelves
    What "brexit caused" year of empty shelves?
    I know there was a load of reporting in press, but I never saw anything like the photos in our Morrisons, Tesco, M&S, Lidl, Aldi or Iceland.
    Brexit caused many delivery driver's to stay in their country of birth due to employment restrictions - maybe you missed that?
    We live in a far distant town away from London etc
    Deliveries are different round here

    One Morrisons store has had a supply issue, probably due to the bank holiday, possibly due to drivers self isolating, who knows, but this is ONE store.

    Scaremongering about empty shelves is utterly ridiculous and frankly dangerous.  
    It's not scaremongering - it's fact
    Our Morrisons had many empty shelves at 8am today

    So now it has gone from "most", to "many".  Its clearly improving then, well done Morribobs!

    Morrisons was an already established supermarket chain (started in 1899) which bought out the former UK arm of Safeway Inc in 2003 and closed or sold to rival supermarkets many former Safeway stores.

    It's impossible to separate the effects of brexit and coronavirus.. people see what they want to see, fitting their specific slant on the subject.

    Personally, it doesn't take long to look around the globe to see supply and staffing issues - which is nothing to do with brexit in those cases. However, I can't see brexit not having any effect, it's just very difficult to separate from coronavirus
