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?

    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
    • Paul's on lordship lane is a good place for garden plants.  He is based near the old harvester on the opposite side of the road he offers good advice on which plants will grow in different positions etc.  
    • I've read this thread and made notes! So many useful tips! Would anyone have a recommendation for  a place that sells good quality topsoil that would also be able to drop from a tipper? 10 cubic meters minimum. Thanks in advance and any further advice on garden centres with good selection of shrubs/climbers would be welcome, I plan to visit them all. Garden is fully dug up with drainage just put in. 
    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
