Not much good Rog I suggest     if no tins on the shelves there in your super markets to open etc . Hal just could finish up supplying everyone here from that stock pile he has I suspect . & take care.

The food banks over there must be well  supported or not many  in need.

I feel many over here would be suprised at the amount of contributions involved if all those in need had sufficient food.

The banks over here would have  been delighted  to have  the  left overs.

Regards.

tidied our food cupboards out a few weeks ago, couldnt fit any more in ........ended up putting a load of tins shelving in the garage, just in case .

Smart thinking David after watching your supply line grind to a stop type of thing on your free ways there on TV here. Logistical nightmare I suspect/suggest & Brexit hasn't even started yet      Just hope there now your bog roll situation is all under control going into Xmas .

Same here David.

Not going mad but putting a few tins on one side just in case things get a little ropey.

Got a large sack of patotoes from near bye farm, if kept in the dark  ( should keep well) think we could have chips to save the day on occasions.

Could be far worse, think of the poor souls in camps etc; 

Regards.

Extraordinary Misty I suggest seeing all those lorries parked nose to tail type of thing on your roads there now & the food that must just be waiting to find it's way onto your the local super market shelves etc. Talk about a bunch of clowns there running the show Extraordinary   . & take care

Food banks here well stocked. Covid around not many takers.
Who knows when the cans will be needed? Trump talking about martial law and other crazy ideas. According to some of his staff he has lost his mind.
Imagine he has a few tricks left. What concerns me is we are so close to the out of control Country. Borders are closed etc, but any scenario could evolve in his last (hopefully) days.

I nearly used a food bank when the government decided to stop our money when I first had my eye problems   anyway long story but I didn't as someone helped me out but I would have been very grateful if I had to

I feel the food banks do a very good job and help many real people in need but some take all the good work done  as a means of supplimenting,drink, smoking and drugs etc;

But I feel it is well worth doing for the genuine poor through no fault of their own.

Hunger should not be a problem in this day and age and as I like my belly (ask the wife) I do not think hunger  would be one of my preferences.

Regards.

Nobody in this country especially but any country to be honest should go hungry or whatever but again I worked most of my life on a low minimum wage doing crap jobs , hard jobs as well and when I packed in work because I was rock bottom with my sight problems and having a young family   this country couldn't give too hoots . I then was at a real low and it was a difficult time   but I am sorry to say this but this country looks after outsiders better than their own , because they are frightened to say no to foreigners but not people born and bred here who pay their way .. this is only one reason I hate and I mean hate politicians ect ect . They are a bunch of con artists.. anyway enough said...

Never actually ever got to the hate stage etc Ray here with our Politician types Closest was when your Queens man here, Kerr dismissed the government of the day here under Whitlam who was our prime minister at the time. Disgraceful episode I'm in our local history, thank's to your Queen & especially when it turns out idiot Charles had also apparently stuck his finger in the pie also with his wisdom to make happen what happened back then.

I don't often hate but I did then and the muppet that used to be on here

Think hate is soul destroying but come very close at times myself.

When I think of 39 people suffercating in the back of a lorry and those responsible not caring one iota (children involved) it is very hard not to hate, but I look at it in the manner, who am I to judge?.

What I think is deplorable, there is enough of everything on earth to give everyone a happy and reasonable life but mankind is intent on destroying it if left to his own devices.

Regards.

Yes totally agree its a horrible word but some that have hurt me deserve that title  and then I hesitate to use the word and regards those in the lorry , that was absolutely horrendous,  my heart sank when that was on the TV again the other day . Terrible
