| | Shopping during the upcoming war
As the pending Anglo-French sea battles in the Channel will no doubt escalate into a full blown ground war.. I was wondering.. think we'll still be able to shop at Geant in St.Louis ?

Bad enough deboning fish. Now we will also have to remove the buck shot.

Better carry an umbrella.

Actually I see the French are actually acting quite responsibly. Their protest in the harbour was non-threatening and they went home at tea-time.

I happened to be over the border shopping at Carrefour this week and any and all British food that normally would be there was no more. Absolutely no cheddar, and same for most other staples. Don't know if it was becasuse of border gridlock/paperwork delays post Brexit or the French doing protest and not carrying it anymore. Think the latter, as the shelf space had been adjusted.

Who gives a damn. Britons make the wrong type of chips (not the Taiwanese ones).
