I was hoping to dig out some chocolate egg bargains today (I do it every year without fail), and it appears some greedy people wanted to steal all the eggs for themselves. This has never happened before, there is always a surplus just after Easter Sunday, but for the first time probably ever, nowhere has any.


Happy Easter you greedy bunch of chocolate eating pigs, hope it bloody makes you feel sick. I?m having a chilled beer following by a nice cold sauv, maybe I should empty the shelves of alcohol next year.


Louisa.

It might well be greed by individuals


Or...

(Which is about exports rather than domestic. But supply chains are interrupted everywhere. Seems unlikely to me that people just suddenly decided to buy way more chocolate eggs this year)

Hmmm this is interesting though - wheres a super forecaster when you need one - It was obvious demand was higher this year when the Easter Wreaths sold out a few weeks back :)

The fact that they messed up at Christmas (I remember arguing with the manager of DKH about stock levels on Xmas Eve) should have alerted them too. Way back in the 1970s before the excesses of the 1980s (when we just shopped and shopped) I remember painting real eggs for Easter.

Sorry lou

Only just woken from my chocolate coma and saw this


As they say you snooze , you lose


From what I was told, there was supply problems due to covid and demand was high to make up for Christmas


However in the spirit of Easter, I've got a spare creme egg that you can have for the bargain price of ?50

Can anyone think of anything else that could be reshaped and sold at a higher price for less of it? Does the shape of an Easter egg give you a warm glow (or something else) that makes it worth being ripped off in buying one? Or, are we just stupid?

    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
    • What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
