In the words of one french lass let them eat cake.......they promptly chopped her head off
Was out at Asda and the shelves were stripped bare......not a loaf to be seen

Usual nutters panic buying because we have had some snow.
Pannick buying didlo's
Same round here Pat, snow had not even settled and the super markets were rammed.
That'll be all the other folk buying 4-5 loaves 10 pints of milk a-piece because they're about to be snowed in. Our local Tesco Express is the same and we haven't got any snow, nor are forecast to get much either!
+1
Tesco car park full.
Full of cars which have sat there since saturday.
Walk in through 18" of snow and there isn't a loaf there.
Not to worry, we'll survive.
Nae bother... modern bread made with the Chorleywood process contains crappy additives and shortens the bread-making process which makes it hard to digest and gives a blood sugar spike (high Glycemic load) and milk is for infant mammals.
all of the milk for our tesco was in the carpark - the wisemans lorry was stuck in the snow
if it comes to it I know the dairy farmer just up the road and I've got enough flour & yeast for about a months worth of bread for me - so
I'm sorted

my local tescos was stacked full of it , mucho supriso .
funnily enough we did a massive shop at adsa the day before , and forgot to get the necessesities .
Yeah they are called Aberdeen Butteries, but I have had them as far west
as Inverness ... in fact I still have a couple in the freezer....courtesy of
Ashers Bakery.... (Nairn)
I also make them .... but not often ...due to the errrm quantities of
lard butter and salt required .......

What really cheeses me off is it's always the morons that live within walking distance of all the shops who clear out the shelves. We live out in
the middle of nowhere and still only get enough for a few days as it only lasts for a short while anyhow and as already said, bread has been made at
home for years, I'ts not exactly rocket science!
Makes me smile how many poor starving individuals must spend an absolute fortune on bread, milk etc. so they can survive for weeks in the frozen urban
jungle, only to throw 90% of it away. Hmmm, bright people. Still, at least they survived
Thats the worst part, a huge portion of that is going to be thrown away.
They're probably the same people that have skived of work and are out driving about pointlessly to by things they don't need, that they
could have bought from a shop they could have walked to.
It's unbelievable just how stupid and selfish people are; a couple of days ago I nipped up to our local shop (Tesco Express attached to a petrol
station) as we'd run out of milk to find that they had run out and one of the employees was telling me how they had to ration the milk and bread
as people were trying to buy vast amounts like ten loaves/30 pints!
God help us if we ever had an actual emergency situation.

Im all making my own stuff however I generally only cook for one so catering in limited quantities is a problem.
(other half has a diet of anything that microwaves
cant cook wont cook generation)
Just moved over to the ryvita`s great.
I dont need bread. I have enough chocolate to last me a few days here in the office

Don't understand the obsession. We need bread and milk, why?
We've got crisps, noodles, sausages, eggs...
i was really baffled today. I was sat outside morrisons eating my lunch, and there was a guy with one of the bakery trolleys full of bread, loading it into his car. wtf? He couldnt have had room to freeze it all. Was very odd.
It's the same panic with christmas day, if the Sun "readers" don't have enough bread to last a month they'll never make it through the one day of the year when the shops are shut
