I'm running out of patience, does that count.
Anyone know where I can find some?

We went grocery shopping last Monday and i couldn't believe (well, yes I could) how many shelves had vacant spaces in them. Our checker said their distribution center is having problems getting products.
Well, we have always known (at least I have) that the past shortages we experienced last year was just the tip of the iceberg. I've known all along another strike was coming this one bigger and will last much longer.

If it really hits the fan you'll have something to eat.

I've heard from two people so far, that said if you want to have Christmas presents this year, better buy now. By Christmas there won't be much to pick from.

Lengthy queues build outside gas stations in London again amid UK fuel crisisLong queues were witnessed outside gas stations in north London as well as the capital’s busy M25 orbital motorway on Wednesday, according to Reuters journalists, along with warnings that no fuel was available at some sites. This came despite British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s efforts to quell public concerns after several gas stations in Britain ran dry because of panic buying and a shortage of drivers. Johnson said the situation is starting to improve and that supplies were returning to normal, while urging people not to panic buy and to go about their business "in the normal way," and to "fill up when you need it." "All we want to do is make sure that we have all the preparations necessary to get through to Christmas and beyond, not just in the supply of petrol stations, but all parts of our supply chain," he said. link
