You couldn't make it up could you? Really thought it was happening this time round.....

missmouse101 · 28/10/2019 14:45

Ooh! Tins of chicken in white sauce with rice! Shame I didn't stash any chocolate in there....

BarbaraofSeville · 28/10/2019 14:45

Sadly if it does happen at the end of January, there'll be lots of 'third time lucky' type crowing.

SafetyAdvice0FeedWhenAgitated · 28/10/2019 14:46

Why do people still stockpile.

It's. Never. Gonna. Happen.Wine

wondering7777 · 28/10/2019 14:46

Won't it keep until December/January OP? I think that's when you'll be needing it (sadly)

GrimalkinsCrone · 28/10/2019 14:47

Grin Mine is continuous rather than static, new stock in one end, old stuff being used.
So we’re having wild mushroom tart tonight with couscous and veg.
Enjoy your beans!

My currently fave Tweet

The year is 2192. The British Prime Minister visits Brussels to ask for an extension of the Brexit deadline. No one remembers where this tradition originated, but every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world.

GrimalkinsCrone · 28/10/2019 14:49

Yes please. I’d rather it faded into a slightly embarrassing folktale.

NonUrinatInVentum · 28/10/2019 14:52

What an epic waste of time and money, it's a farce. How is your government actually running the country?! It seems that they're spending all of their time and resources fighting over this.

In the background, the poor are getting shafted and the NHS is being driven into the ground to make way for privatisation. America 2.0.

I'm saying all this as a forriner living in forrin lands. It's painful to watch Sad

Yep, time to start on those two gross of lavatory rolls. It’ll be good to get the spare room back in use.

@SafetyAdvice0FeedWhenAgitated

That is brilliant Grin

Cinammoncake · 28/10/2019 14:56

I'll have to sort through the tins and work out which will keep till February.

Shame I didn't stash any chocolate in there.

Me neither! Quite a few chickpeas though Confused

Nah, flextension means we could leave in one two or three months. No deal.is still the default and if we do agree the deal no deal is still highly likely in December 2020.

The bloody thing will have to be shifted round again and another stocktake taken.

Grin I heard that one a few weeks ago.

But sadly, the uncertainty is doing the economy etc no good at all. So while we remainers can joke about 'at least we're still in the EU' not knowing what's going to happen just carries on having a detrimental effect on life, business etc.

horse4course · 28/10/2019 15:03

No one even pretends it'll benefit the country any more. The whole thing is a nonsense.

And if they do 'get brexit done' then you just go on to the next decade of bullshit because this is merely the withdrawal agreement. So depressing.

Cinammoncake · 28/10/2019 15:36

True. I think a lot of people just wish the whole idea could be cancelled.

Those of you not sensible enough to stash biscuits are welcome to my Brexit hobnobs. If you take some tinned tomatoes and red lentils!

crankyassnoperope · 28/10/2019 15:48

Brexit walks into a bar. The barman says, "why the long farce?"

Cinammoncake · 28/10/2019 15:52

crankyassnoperope Grin

I admire your willpower annelovesgilbert in stashing hobnobs! will swap you for a tin of baked beans Wink

Fucking fig rolls and cheap thin toilet roll here. What was I thinking????

AnneLovesGilbert · 28/10/2019 15:57

I don’t really eat biscuits but the thought of living under no deal on a virtuous diet of pulses and rice was awful so my pantry features custard, rice pudding, tinned fruit and hobnobs. Now someone has to eat it all...

I’ll take some beans!

FluffyAlpaca19 · 28/10/2019 15:59

I've sorted through my stash & moved all the short date items to the front or donated them to the food bank.

How is your government actually running the country

It's not. It's quite instructive how the country is actually running itself Who needs politicians anyway.
