What is going on is it Brexit or something more sinister
The shortage of the nation’s favourite finger-lickin' chicken has left vast swathes of Britain in despair. In the township of Tottenham, the natives are restless. Large queues have formed at rival outlets. Dallas and Texas Fried chicken have recorded record sales of their finest poultry. In south London, in Peckham and Brixton, the youth are wandering the streets aimlessly searching for their food of choice. Some children are being treated for starvation at branches of McDonald’s and Burger King. Even there, supplies of chicken nuggets are in short supply and may have to be injected intravenously to those in most critical need. Fried chicken addicts have been swamping A & E departments, suffering from withdrawal symptoms. The NHS has cancelled all non-urgent hospital appointments. The Disaster Emergencies Committee have launched an appeal, by Save the Children. Four Hercules transport planes have been dispatched to Atlanta, Georgia where they will be loaded with fresh supplies of the Colonel’s finest from the southeastern US. Waitrose reports sales of organic, free-range chicken, have skyrocketed as the middle classes dust down their Jamie Oliver cookbooks to prepare homemade nuggets for their youngsters. Reaction from politicians has been swift. David Lammy blasted the government for not doing enough for his Tottenham constituents. In nearby Harringay, Dining About told me “This is a disgrace. people are suffering and the government stands by and does nothing” Jeremy Corbyn has blamed the private sector for cost-cutting. ” A Labour government would consider nationalisation of All Fried Chicken outlets as an option” he opined. Police forces up and down the land are monitoring the situation. Cressida Dick of the Metropolitan Police reassured the public ” We will maintain law and order, riot police are on standby and all police leave has been cancelled” Mavis May will be chairing a COBRA meeting at 11 am today. I will bring you updates as this developing crisis unfolds For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

This obviously is a prelude to the coming U.K. famine resulting from Brexit.
Now, seriously. One positive from Brexit may be that your country will not be part of the EU rules on poultry feed. Most or all EU chicken taste more like soybean meal than like chicken. If the UK are smart, they will tighten the rules for animal feed, and possibly get much more superior chicken on the shelves. That could be like us here in Switzerland, there is a world of difference between quality and taste of chicken here in Switzerland, and for instance in neighbouring France. We pay more here, but chicken and other meat is the last thing we will buy across the border.

Well it is a great pity that the emergency call centre staff can not say foxtrot oscar to those people who think the lack of a breaded deep fried piece of chicken is an emergency.

People are up in arms over it because they haven't got their fried chicken. They might have to eat something healthy instead then.

Seemingly, the KFC chicken shortage is spreading now also into DHL's home country. So you are not alone there.

This thread has nothing to do with Land Rovers. It's just fowl.

I would imagine a large cold store is somewhere in that equation. Greeni, that was terrible  |
