Loads of stuff missing in Sainsburys today. So we didn't notice the lack of produce in the fridge section, they filled it with slabs of lager, genius.
Appears they have no problem getting beans from Kenya though
24hrs a day for 7 days a week in London for some mini supermarkets, the demand must be there.Still strikes me as frigging odd that shops are open on Sundayās
Build it and they will come.24hrs a day for 7 days a week in London for some mini supermarkets, the demand must be there.

I bet the Wagon Wheels were bigger tooYea, I recall when the supermarkets were pushing for it, there was an organisation called ākeep Sunday specialā. They didnāt do very well, did they. I have great memories as a kids of how Sundayās were
I bet the Wagon Wheels were bigger too

Must be a profit in it.Build it and they will come.
Incompetence in the supply chain ? There's plenty milk and plenty plasticWhat's the deal with milk, it's happened a few times recently, no 1 or 2 pinters, only 4's, is there a plastic shortage too?

Baffles me if there's no milk or plastic shortage. The different sized containers can't make a huge difference in transport surely?Incompetence in the supply chain ? There's plenty milk and plenty plastic

I did, and I made a fruit crumble the 250ml size will be going on tomorrow.My goodness Charlie not the full range of pack sizes. Right that's it, if ever proof were needed that this is really a real crisis. Did you check if both 250 and 500ml cream, both full and semi were in stock as further evidence there is a true crisis brewing?

I may add a sprinkling of sarcasm too
So it's nothing to do with Brexit?Simplifies immensely the haulage if have just one pallet of one size to load into back of the fridge wagon. If have to spend time making up split pallets in the RDC (Regional distribution centre) adds time and complexity. Go to Lidl or Aldi. Only get choice of two containers there - if do not like it then pay more go to Sainsburys. These larger multiple retailers have complicated the product lines to the extent it is relatively simple to reduce their cost, labour and time. Just need to recruit Lidl managers.

They'll be along shortly no doubt. Back to the milk; if you want to simplify, which I agree with, can we have 1's and 2's? It's easy to double up but not to halve!Not a clue Charlie. But goodness most things from what I read and hear are to do with Brexit. Even my in growing toenail is down to Brexit.
