I'm not sure whether to do so as lack of space will be my issue. I just hope that the medication I'm prescribed will still be available.I'm already having trouble with one product..

Biggest issue with medication is the limits GPs put on renewals. I really had to fight to get one prescription renewed as I was told to take a double dose for a month, so ran out a month early.

l can concur with you on that as l have had several issues about some of my medications with my surgery.

However, Pierre has repeatedly stated he voted Remain. But unlike you, respects the Democratic result.

My recollection of the Leave campaign is that they did not make it clear that a Leave vote would risk short to medium term harm to the country. As for Pierre, he does support the "mandate" that the Leave result delivered. This "mandate" does not validate the option of short to medium term harm as it was not on the table during the campaign.

So, consequently, the only deal that comes close (ish) to being validated by the Leave "mandate" is Mrs May's. Having said that, I do not recognise the result as a democratic decision for the variety of reasons I have mentioned numerous times previously in this thread.

I don't think that there will be a hard Brexit and I'm not hoarding anything, but this Breakfast food infographic is interesting.

But despite all the lies from “Both” Leave and Remain camps. Had Remain won, you would had no problem recognising the result and we would miraculously not be having this discussion.

The fact you want yet another referendum, that would be just as bad in the first with scare stories etc and Leave won again on similar %s, should we keep going until we get the result you want, bearing in mind that there will still be people not old enough to vote etc etc.... ?

I've been stockpiling medication where I can and have increased my stock of tinned goods (i'm lucky in that space isn't an issue).

They say that people shouldn't stockpile as this in itself will cause shortages, but I cannot risk running out of essential medication and need food to take some of it with. I simply daren't risk not doing anything else as I don't trust this incompetent Government and their approach to Brexit.

They are now only just doing very limited tests with lorries being held up and seconding civil servants to deal with the matter, they have made promises which turned out to be lies and changed their minds at the last minute etc.

We're not stockpiling as there's quite enough food in the cupboards and freezers to last several months. I make the bread anyway and we don't use milk except dried for cooking.

It's only some imported fresh veg, tomatoes and brocolli have been mentioned, that might be affected. The millennials will just have to do without avocados for a while.

Planning for extra crops in the allotment this year; still self sufficient in pumpkins/leeks/parsnips and will be for some time...
Have tried stockpiling wine but it never quite works out

... and it's fresh things that we can't stockpile.

On films about dystopian societies, they often have people pinching things from allotments or petrol for generators etc I hope we don't end up like that

And its the perishables which could be in short supply and if that happens then the price is highly likely to shoot up.

Well, the weather last year has apparently affected crops, so vegetables are due to go up in price anyway. Another reason i've been stockpiling tinned stuff.

Potatoes are quite small this year.
