Steve: Sales executive for a high street (retailer)
‘Out of (stock)’. I’ve seen it so much lately, or empty shelves at the supermarket. I know there’s been problems in the (supply) chain, but it’ s driving me mad!
Jess: Warehouse Manager for a (wholesaler)
There’s a huge market here for cheap (imports), so we (stock) all of the shelves at the front with that (stuff). No sooner does it come in, than off it goes again to some local store. We have to (restock) every few days, which can be quite (challenging) at times.
Mary: Shopkeeper for her (family-run) hardware store
We do stock locally made products, but look, see the (dust) on these? It makes sense though. Our things cost so much more to produce. And people round here haven’t got two (pennies) to rub together. Funny thing is, they’re the first to complain about foreign imports (ruining) the economy. Well stop buying their things, I say. That usually (shuts) them up.
Clive: Factory Machinist for a hand tool (manufacturer)
If there wasn’t such a big (market) for cheap tools, maybe we would still be a (household) name. Like in the (good) old days. We produce real quality tools here. Good British (steel) and hard wood.
