No Accy not of them go with that beautiful crushed red velvet jacket.

Er,it's burgundy,not red Mr Postman! Besides,i just wouldn't wear a summer flat cap with that jacket anyway.

There might be a Waitrose near you? Beware of extended browsing on that site...it can be all too tempting!

They're (perhaps unsurprisingly) rare around here, the nearest being 15 miles away, although I'm sure I could work with that one way or another. However, in checking online, they had no bread flour listed, only plain, SR and bread mixes. It did say they'd reduced the range of products available online though?

Shop upwards. I quit going to Kroger, as it had all sorts of shortages, and went to Jewel instead. In the States, the more expensive, regional super-markets have things like bread and t.p., the bigger national chains do not. Except for Aldi. No troubles there, as far as I see. Fresh seafood, in the Midwest, iscurrently limited to cod, salmon, shrimp, and catfish or tilapia. Of those, I will only eat cod or pollock, which is always frozen in these parts

Good point, along similar lines to @Maverick Goose

They can be running fine but if demand is out stripping max supply capability you’ll still end up with empty shelves.

True, but I'd have thought i might have been lucky enough to have dropped in at the right time at least once in the last few weeks? Bread flour was never this 'popular' round these parts in the past.
When searching for hard to find products under normal circumstances I'd have a pootle around different stores, but that doesn't seem appropriate atm. What's frustrating is there's an enormous flour mill just a few miles away in Worksop (no retail counter though)! Not had much luck finding an online flour retailer yet either.
Oh well, bought bread it is for a while then. Could be worse. Much, much worse.

Sounds like experience speaking.

Tried and tested, why give a way/method that wouldn't work!

Decided not to go to Tesco. Not exactly going to run out of anything in the next few days, just wanted to keep the cupboards and fridge contents stocked up and get a new mop as mum has somehow inexplicably managed to break mine. Would have been a good night for stickering as well, but it's not urgent.

Will probably go on Monday or Tuesday instead.

The Fragrant MrsP has just come into the lounge with beer and pringles. Life seems worth living again.

When I worked for the YHA in Edale, I used to go to the Buxton Waitrose when I went walking over that way.

Can everyone please look under the cushions of their sofas for a get-up-and-go?

I seem to have lost mine.

 

[carlosfandangus]

I am going to have a good look for mine, I might need it tomorrow

Tesco's, Sainsburys & Asda all say they have it in stock.

The question is it worth 30 minutes to an hours wait to find out they are telling porkies

Buy online, local Tesco's only had a 10 minute queue.

We can't buy online for Tesco's, Morrisons or Asda around here, none of the websites will let you place an order.

 

[carlosfandangus]

We only have Tesco or Shoprite (manx) I queued for an hour earlier today

It's the same for me; however Starfruits (Greengrocers), Cranston's (Butchers) and Graham's (deli) will all deliver locally. TBH I'd rather support local shops anyway.
