It's a bit ironic that a glut of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming, whilst a lack of the same gas is behind all the empty drinks shelves in the supermarkets. Our local Tesco has had hardly any Sparkling water, soda water or Tonic water for some weeks now.

Just thoughts really.
 
So it's CO2!! The penny drops. I'd been mystified by the continuing unavailability of fizzy water but simply not joined the dots.

So soaring energy prices means we can't buy pop etc. Who'd have thunk it? There's millions, billions maybe, to be made here if we can hatch a plan.
 
Stockpile everything fizzy you can get hold of. By Christmas week you'll be selling cans of Coke for £20 each.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some say it's going well, I say the country is fooked. Gas and electricity supplies, fooked, empty shelves in the supermarkets, everyone trying to screw everyone else. Cant get a dental appointment for weeks,. Eating out is getting expensive. What's not to like,FFS. 😂

When I was a kid Bryn, I used to add Alka Seltza, if we were out of fizzy pop.😉

Dunno to be fair, It could well explode, but I was never that good at chemistry👍

The government have reached an agreement with CF Industries to restart CO2 production at its UK sites.

Let’s hope it’s not a load of hot air.😉
 
I don't trust this government one bit.
If you do have a favourite beer or fizzy drink get it in now.
The shelves have been struggling for weeks now and it's taken a bit of time to make the news.

Flour is another thing I'd be concerned about as many crops have failed.

As for Turkey at Xmas I'd say don't worry.

So in other words they’ve offered them money. I wonder where that’s going to come from?? :roll:

Whoop!

Probably told them to take a hatchet to some safety procedures as well to save time and money like they’ve done with HGV drivers.
