of money, they'll take it. and that's what they do. it's just stealing to order. at the local garden centre in otley, you can see the problem. some ranges are out of stock. the prospect of a summer at home has seen demand soar. normally, if we order a container, it could perhaps come in about, you know, 4—6 weeks. and it's taking 3—5 months, you know. and this morning, you know, i witnessed a phone call from a customer who was asking about furniture and the supplier promised it for this time of the year, and it'sjust been notified that it will come in august. tents are in short supply, too, partly because pubs and hotels like this one are after them as well. here at the devonshire arms, they planned ahead and ordered in march, turning these into outdoor relaxation rooms to replace indoor lounges. if you want to do something more active, then watch out for a shortage of cycle inner tubes. we as consumers may have to change.
