Britons’ Christmas lunches might be a little less filling this year, thanks to Brexit, ‘pingdemic’ and soaring temperatures

There’s a reason Brits are struggling to find pints of milk, packs of salad and bottles of water in the supermarket — and it’s not all due to the “pingdemic”.

The UK’s Road Haulage Association estimates that 15,000 EU nationals have left the industry since the start of this year. Add in some 30,000 tests for drivers of heavy goods vehicles that couldn’t go ahead in 2020 because of the pandemic, the closing of a tax loophole used by some drivers in April, and the crisis to find personnel for transporting goods has become severe.

Given the challenges, some food suppliers have resorted to measures they took in March 2020 when the Covid-19 outbreak first intensified; they cut back on less-popular products so that their manufacturing facilities could concentrate on filling shelves with more popular ones. Fortunately, some relief is coming; from Aug. 16, fully vaccinated people in England will no longer need to self-isolate if they come into close contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus. But that’s still some weeks away.
