January 7th the tragic day when all the conkers in Leicester were munched and gobbled up by Teece Roolan (current conker eating world record holder) . Kids woke up with despair as they woke up and found there were no conkers left . Go to the go fund me page to help Teece’s addiction.
Oh no it’s January 7th the day of Leicester’s conker shortage, let’s have a minute of silence for the lost conkers

worker shortage

Worker shortage describes the set of circumstances where employers do not pay sufficient renumeration to compensate people for the work being carried out. More commonly known in the past as 'not paying enough for them to give a damb' the term worker-shortage has been used as a comfort blanket for employers to help them in their delusion that paying poverty wages is sufficient. The term is widely used in error and by institutions that see workers as a controllable expense rather than human beings.
The lack of wage inflation for the decades has caused a worker shortage in the lowest paid jobs.

artifical shortage

Term used by fanboys to explain why their favorite console isn't selling as well as the Nintendo Wii.
Nintendo is only selling due to artifical shortage. Ninty holds back stocks to create demand. It's not that they're actually running out. Five year old hardware isn't that hard to mass produce, ;)"

worldwide shortage strategy

The overused and ludicrously transparent procedure of trying to guilt-trip an over-indulger into reducing/eliminating his consumption of the unhealthful/expensive product by trying to appeal to his inherent consideration for fellow humans on the planet who might wish to have a little of the same item for themselves, too. This "this stuff is in alarmingly short supply, so don't hog it all for yourself" technique is seldom overly effective, especially in the modern-day computer age, wherein the glutton can simply “hop online” and find out for himself whether there is actually any imminent risk of said product’s being placed on the endangered species list.
I tried the worldwide shortage strategy on my corpulent cousin to try to convince her to cut back on the chips and chocolate bars, but she just showed me an article on MSNBC that described how the snack-food companies are currently experiencing a junk-food glut in their warehouses, what with so many people’s jumping on the health-nut bandwagon.
