Pop down to your local catholic church and ask whether you can borrow a priest and altar boy costume. You dress as the Priest, your Mrs as the Altar Boy and you spend the evening fondling her. Should go down a treat, particularly if the hosts are Catholic.

Guys, going to a Halloween party and don’t have a costume.

please give me idea with links to purchasing items. I’m not on social media so there are no restrictions

Just stick a condom on the end of your nose and when they ask you what you have come as, say "**** knows?" ... save a fortune on the costume and likely win a prize for originality ... <cheers>

A lot of people simply do not understand logistics.

We've been doing our shop online since covid, also it don't require HGV drivers to go to different locations, they just require them to go into a central hub. That central hub will then distribute to many counties via nothing more than a 3.5T vehicle, which can be driven on a standard drivers licence.

Hence rarely have items missing, I've guaged about 2 items have been missing over the last 12 weekly shops. You would have more than that before Brexit or Covid in store on ocassions, why...

because the weekly shop instore is reliant on what time the delivery arrives, or even if one is due to arrive that day. So for example well before all these recent events, you could go instore and find most of the fresh veg is gone, with shelves pratically empty. Hence why when people panic buy, they throw everything more out of kilter, that is the weakness of 'just in time.'

I was having these same discussions with people decades ago, it's all fine while it's working, but it's a mare if something in the slightest goes wrong.

An example would be the Erith robot hub, it serves numerous counties, and literally thousands up on thousands of orders every week. One fire brought the whole operation to a standstill. So in that scenario it's better to go in store, because nothing is going to get delivered online. That in itself will impact stores with the extra demand. Vicious cyle.

Much like the recent fuel shortage, solely caused by those idiots in the media. Everything is measured by people's average behaviours, if that alters, then the system of just in time becomes fooked. Much like when we had the first lock down, everything moved from instore to online, the sytem simply can't cope. Then when people can go out again, they go back to store, but now it's a massive problem, because you just laid off all your HGV drivers.

The sytem is great when it's working fine, but we seriously need to look at why we are relying on central hubs, the biggest example of that was the C02, what was it, one location, maybe two do it, absolute joke.
