Folk don't seem to be buying ingredients, just bread and milk I can cook and do so on a regular basis, but I still like to have bread and milk. Milk for cereal and bread for toast. Could do with some finger rolls for the kids too and normal rolls. I’m having leek and potato soup with crusty bread tonight. Sainsbury’s only had the made in store crusty bread for sale and I had to queue to get a loaf. It’s like living in the old Soviet Union! Selfish b*****ds were buying 3 loads each thus depriving their fellow brothers and sisters of sustenance. We should really have commissars or the likes who can distribute punishment beatings for this kind of disgraceful behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm not sure if I should go to my local for the 4th night in a row or walk a bit further to the second closest pub. Had 6 or 7 pints each of the last 3 nights and fear they'll think i'm a proper jakey if i go again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Nipped to Asda at the jewel for bread (before any c**t starts, we did need it) and was lucky enough to get 2 loaves of freshly baked stuff. They'd even sold out of the bread mixtures. No milk, or milkshakes. I must have been the only person in there without a tracksuit and 3 kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about kids though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The last couple of days have convinced me that when Brexit or Trump brings us to a dystopian nightmare, bread and milk will be the top currency. The wee shop across from me got a limited amount of bread in and it was like black Friday with people queued out the door for Warburtons Thick Sliced. At least half of them would have been disappointed. I was only in for a bottle of Rioja which I'm glad to say they had plenty of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Nosejob Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Went out at 5.30 to clear the driveway and pavements of snow, but ended up having to rely on the streetlights to help me finish the job. The weather app told me that sunset would be at 5.45, but it was perfectly bright when I started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Drove to work this morning without a problem. Roads were clear and well-gritted. By 4pm it was mayhem so I decided to leave my car at work as I knew my Golf wouldn't make it through the snow - mainly due to bad drivers getting stuck on the rather hilly Chilterns. I thumbed a lift and was picked up collected by an off-duty undertaker driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee who dropped me off within a 5 minute walk of my flat. I got his card and assured him that he'd get my future business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
