Birdbrain Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Lordy ... Just to let folk know who may be concerned over the OPs wild, Hollywood claims ... We went to a beautiful wedding yesterday at a beautiful hotel with beautiful staff serving beautiful food and drinks ... No problems what so ever ... Im hoping to get a quick day in at Ullswater in the Lakes early next week before we head south down to Sussex to visit a good friend and then take a ferry to Euroworld ... Will update on the false, lying guff claims by the OP ... As ever all places visited are available by PM ... Merci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Nando's have announced they will have to temporarily close 50 outlets due to shortages, meanwhile their Irish branches(north and south) are unaffected, either CV-19 hasn't reached Ireland or could it be there is no problems with labour/supplies as the whole of Ireland is in effect still in the EU.

Bulletguy Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 colin - 2021-08-18 3:46 PM Nando's have announced they will have to temporarily close 50 outlets due to shortages, meanwhile their Irish branches(north and south) are unaffected, either CV-19 hasn't reached Ireland or could it be there is no problems with labour/supplies as the whole of Ireland is in effect still in the EU. Apparently government have been warned that EU worker rules and logistics would continue to his the industry but they don't seem bothered. “There are shortages fluctuating between 10% and 20% of staff, so we need some emergency changes to get workers overseas who can fill this gap.” The restaurant chain said it had to close sites after it was impacted by staffing shortages at suppliers and reduced numbers of lorry drivers, which have also impacted supermarket shelves in recent weeks. Regards your latter point, yes they will be ok as whilst some supermarkets on the mainland have experienced stock shortages, stock was getting to Ireland as normal. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/nando-s-poultry-home-office-kfc-government-b951208.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be that there are just 10 Nando's in Ireland compared to 410 here ;-) .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The company confirmed that its sites in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which have a unique customs arrangement due to Brexit, had not been affected." There are 12 in Ireland.....do your homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdbrain Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hopefully some staff have returned from the EU to serve me and hubby at one of Holmfirths restaurants later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdbrain Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Well ... No issues at all with hospitality staff yesterday ... Couldn't believe it ... Im beginning to wonder if the OP hasn't made a liccle mistake with the Hollywood claim ... We are back to Ullswater tomorrow to test out a new paddle board so shall eat out later with an in-depth staff report to follow and then we have a few days in Sussex which I really am looking forward to before hopefully heading off to France where they apparently aren't suffering from hospitality worker shortages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No waiter issues 8-) ........ That's the purpose of self-service. Due to the ongoing shortages of staff in the hospitality industry many wedding venues have no choice. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Two more supply chain issues have become apparent in the last few weeks, flu jabs are being cancelled due to a shortage of drivers, and now farmers are struggling with storage as they can't get move on crops. As we have probably the most serious crisis since WWII you would think the government might actually listen to those who know what the problems are instead of burying their heads in the sand, and maybe with these exceptional circumstances they might stay at there desks doing their jobs instead of swanning of on holiday.

I don't understand why a the shortage of HGV drivers should delay the distribution of Flu jabs. I'm sure the boxes containing the jabs would fit into the back of a Transit van, or similar vehicle. Anyone but Boris Johnson would know that. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only crops, farmers are now also facing seeing thousands of pigs culled due to a shortage of slaughterhouse and meat processing plant workers. At least 15% of staff were from EU countries and like the truck drivers, won't be coming back here. Brexiters were warned but all we had from them was screeches of "Project Fear". It's Project Reality. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/pigs-culling-staff-shortage-uk-b1909963.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
