A NATIONAL supermarket is currently dealing with technical issues which are affecting residents of Dorset.

Sainsbury's has announced to its customers that they are experiencing 'technical difficulties'.

On social media, it reads: "We're experiencing technical issues affecting some stores, our Groceries Online service, and our ability to contact customers.

"Unfortunately, we will not be able to fulfill the vast majority of today's Groceries Online deliveries.

"We are working hard to fix the issue and apologise to our customers for the inconvenience. We will contact customers proactively to rebook orders as soon as we can."

This comes days after the fast food chain, McDonald's also experienced technical difficulties.

It is not known when the problem will be resolved.
