"15:11, 22 JUL 2021 Empty shelves and signs on the soft drinks aisle of a Sainsbury's store in Blackheath, Rowley Regis in the West Midlands"

I saw that sign the other week when I was hunting for a pint or 2 pints of milk in a local medium sized Sainsburys. They also didn't have any in the M&S two doors down.

In the end I went to a corner shop where they had plenty of pint and 2 pints of milk.

The next time I looked in an Asda as well and they had none in.

A friend went to a third supermarket for me and got me some.

Incidentally I've had no issues getting deliveries of bottle water or other soft drinks.

I've had issues getting some of the canned food and other dairy food I want but that's been going on since January with different items so I think it is more likely linked to Br.... rather than Covid.
