January Snow

The snow we've had has made the British a little mental. They have closed the schools, taken time off work, shut roads, found bin lids make great sledges, worn all their wardrobe at once, made some quite rude (but very impressive) snowmen but most crazy of all they've emptied the supermarkets of milk and bread. Did people think that the cows would freeze and not be able to produce milk?
If you shop locally (as my friend quite rightly told the BBC) you would not have had the worry of no milk, your local shop would have got from their local dairy which would have delivered by whatever means (or they'd go bust!) as they are reliable and want the business. Stuff the bloody supermarket shop and get down to your local deli/butcher/grocer and support them. They'll close down if you don't and then you'll wonder why your high street looks a mess. Please, please will people start shopping local.......not just watch Hugh or Nigel and agree.....but DO IT.

  1. too right, I'm all for shopping local. I rarely go to the supermarket. Primarily coz of its long lines and poor meat quality. its important to keep it local though. Even though it costs a little more, id rather pay and loose the option.
