Never let it be said that the news can’t overhype a minor issue and make it sound like the world is teetering on the brink. We’ve had supply chain problems, fuel shortages, egg shortages, driver shortages… and now, apparently, a shortage of Nigels.
Let me reassure you: this is not a crisis.
There is no Nigel scarcity. No rationing required. No need to stockpile. I’m here, fully available, and operating at normal capacity. There’ll be plenty of me for Christmas, and absolutely no disruption to service. So yes, feel free to keep on making plans for Nigel.
Sometimes the headlines write themselves.
Sometimes they’re just asking for a response.
And sometimes you just have to laugh and get on with your day.
