Do you have empty shelves in supermarkets as a result? Closed restaurants?

There's a shortage all across Europe, but as far as I have heard it's only in the UK where it's sufficient to cause problems with food distribution.

(Natural gas prices have reduced food production in the Netherlands: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-30/your-toma... but would we have seen the result of that yet?)




OP and I were talking about a shortage in healthcare workers...

> The great British public still have their heads in the sand in the wake of lorry driver shortages, nursing staff shortages and doctor shortages.

Restaurants open or closed is a luxury; /care

Some food not available, might be a luxury, but the vids I've seen were quite shocking.


Yes to closed restaurants, but that's because of Covid response, not supply shortage. Supermarkets have reported no problems keeping stock.
