North Korea reportedly ran into difficulties printing up its 2021 calendars due to a lack of materials imported from China.
In a telephone conversation with Daily NK on Thursday, a source in Yanggang Province said printers in Pyongyang were delayed in printing up the calendars “because they couldn’t get printing ink.” The source said that publishers “just barely distributed the calendars by the end of the year.”...
As recently as last year, North Koreans exchanged calendars as gifts on the New Year, but this was rarely seen this year with calendars not only hard to find but also expensive.
Some North Koreans are saying that calendars are in such short supply this year they will become “symbols of wealth.”
I can see something similar happening in the UK. A cunning plan to ensure that we lose track of how long we've been in lockdown. Derbyshire police would confiscate calendars as subversive literature.

They could cut their costs by having just Wednesdays on the sheets.
Everyone knows that Wednesdays muck up two weekends!
I'm already confused as last year seems to have been 1984.
Scrobs - yes, always an unsatisfactory day. Previous weekend is forgotten and next weekend is too far away.
Sam - this year is 1984 too. We are in temporal stasis.
