Is the King due to pay a visit?
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

I don't buy eggs, so it doesn't bother me.

Aldi didn't have any jars of Shropshire blue cheese tonight, but it did have plenty of sloe gin mince pies.

 Not an egg to be had in Sainsburys this evening.
Not en-oeuf to go round?

Does the last egg pack in Lidl equate in any way to the last chicken in Sainsbury's?

Our Sainsbury's had plenty yesterday. As did M&S, although theirs are £1 per half dozen box dearer - I do hope their farmers are getting the benefit.

This week's shortage is Lemsip (other flu and cold remedies are unavailable).

It hasn't stopped them advertising it on TV though

No eggs in Carmarthen Tesco (a big 'un) apart from the ones in clear plastic boxes that always look a bit dodgy and sell in packets of 15. They look like the kind of eggs you see being sold off a stall in a car boot market along with packets of crisps past their sell-by date and clear plastic bags containing broken biscuits.

Probably from battery hens which are kept in a chicken Auschwitz.
I would rather do without eggs.
