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?

    • To be fair, it depends on the style you want, what texture of hair you have and  how much of a precision cut the style needs. I have very thin fine hair (or did have, before it started going grey) and it needs a really excellent cut to make it look good. I'm on a pension, but I don't mind paying more for a cut which I know will make me feel good. Shingo at Kuki works wonders (though I'm presently growing my hair in preparation for a particular style, so if anyone knows me please don't judge his talents by my present "halfway" cut!) I think it's a matter of trying people out until you find someone who suits you and your hair. If that person is also relatively cheap, then that's great! I've had some truly awful cuts over the decades, and in the past whenever I found someone good, they at some point moved on,  and (a bit like dentists) you could never find out where they had gone. At least Shingo owns the salon, so is unlikely to leave! That sounds extremely expensive! Where was it?  Why did they not wash the hair? Was that the advertised price, for a trim (not a restyle?)  with no wash?
    • I'm relieved to hear that you've been able to adopt several cats through Celia Hammond Redjam and yes it's baffling that your experience is so different! I wonder if it depends which individual you are being vetted by, it doesn't sound like everyone is told the same criteria at all. I don't mean to put anyone off trying to adopt either, those cats and kittens all need a home! I might actually call them to clarify and post their advice here if I can get some.
