The pubs, those that remain open, will be finding it easy to obtain supplies as most breweries use their own lorry drivers. Supermarkets however are feeling the pinch. The two local stores here are doing OK just now, though some items are missing and many shelves are filled with slow selling stock to make things look better than they are.
With 100,000 missing lorry drivers, 60,000 EU men were sent back home for ideological reasons, Boris came out with one of his 'Balloons!' 'The Army HGV drivers will fill the gap!' Brilliant! Not only does this admit complete failure on the governments part but it develops that failure when explanations arrive. There are only 2000 qualified, capable, HGV men in the British Army, 200 of these are 'Reservists,' (what we used to call Territorials) and all of these have full time jobs - as Lorry drivers! So by using 2000 Army drivers to replace 100,000 missing drivers we are taking 200 drivers from the already over stressed lorry driver pool? Do you think this has not been thought out properly?

Are people hoarding yet? They would be doing that here if they read your post.
Nice shot of Earth.
How odd that Boris didn't think things through before speaking........most unusual.!!
Kay, In spme places yes. But most understood Brexit a stupid act and have stocked up in recent months.
Dave, Unusual indeed. I am also surprised no-one mentioned this to him...
