Better stock up now folks.

My 85 year old mum has the occasional glass of Whisky for medicinal purposes, which funnily enough always gets her singing!
In the back of her booze cupboard there are several dusty, multi-coloured concoctions brought home from foreign holidays over the years and kept for "the summer" This is the case with many an older traveller....
These old ladies will be worth a fortune when we run out of booze

is it any good?
I'm maybe not fussy enough but I rather like the Aldi bourbon anyway.

They all taste the same to me.🤔

I'll never forget me as a 10 year old opening my grandma's display cabinet, taking her unopened bottle of brandy out, breaking the seal, taking a big swig then putting it back.

Maybe Mackeson will make a come-back - I think they still make it - last few year's production at the back of dusty shelves in corner shops, particularly northern.

There was no shortage in the Prestwich Lidl the other day. But with circa 300 bottles of homemade wine under the floor and or so another 50 to go under before Christmas., the activities of the press department for the alcohol trade talking up shortages, don't bother me

Sounds good, but what do you drink on Boxing Day?

They have packs of four tins in Morrisons. Nice, but not strong/piss headish enough for me!

You mean they are going to run out of booze for their engineers or their engines!

Actual engine parts

I'm not going to fall for this ruse again. My freezer is already full of Pigs in Blankets

Taking a big swig of brandy as a 10 year old, I'm surprised you were able to breathe enough to hold on to it to put back!

I am not bothered. Shortages ? I will do without. No shortages? I don't drink much anyway so either way, I couldn't care less.
I think it is another trick from the producers to get people to spend now and keep spending till Christmas. The sad thing is, many people fall for it every time.

Being closely connected to the trade, there is no shortage of alcohol whatsoever. Some folks' favourite tipple might be in short supply but there is always an alternative. This 'shortage' will not affect the big brands that are found on supermarket shelves. There are logistics difficulties for some companies yet most are managing, as they are generally well-organised.

 

[cyberknight]

as long as they havent run out of pants and socks i think my prezzies will be unaffected

 

[Jenkins]

won't bother me.
Interpret that how you like.
a: am teetotal
b: will drink anything.

With your previous mentions of a penchant for a breakfast pint in Weatherspoons, I think we know the answer to that one

that is of course answer c.
am a fussy drinker - don't drink junk - but am flexible.

(for the nervous, I should stress that the odd breakfast pint is usually with a bike quite a few hours into my day)
