Pearce Duff's Strawberry Blancmange 35g

Product Information

Batters has warned there might be further rationing of salad items to come, especially if growers’ energy bills remain high. Big stores have four-weekly promotion, manufacturers "buy" the "ends" of aisles or promotional features to have their products displayed there in the four weeks .

Sometimes a retailer will de-list a major brand's product (usually temporarily) if they can't negotiate the price they want. One issue is reduced output from British farms. The president of the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), Minette Batters, told the union’s annual conference on Tuesday that “domestic production of salad, including cucumbers and tomatoes, has fallen to its lowest level since records began in 1985”. Faced with higher costs for glasshouse crops, some retailers chose to rely more heavily this year on sourcing from Spain and north Africa, leaving them more vulnerable to the weather-triggered shortages. Are things worse in the UK than the rest of Europe? However, eggs are also undergoing shortages, after producers were hit by rising costs and the UK’s worst-ever outbreak of avian influenza. This requires all birds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but not in Scotland, to be kept indoors, pushing up already soaring heating and lighting costs for egg producers.But, there is always a flip side to a story. There is a significant % of the population here which don't drive for various reasons. These people are effectively a captive market for the local supermarket. The NFU is calling for more support to energy-reliant British farmers. At its annual conference, Batters criticised government policy, pointing out that botanical gardens with large glasshouses have received support with their energy bills through the energy relief scheme, while food producers with greenhouses have not.

The farming minister, Mark Spencer, told the conference that the Treasury and the government’s business department were examining these schemes.Sainsbury’s has been importing eggs from Italy since late last year as a result of shortages in British supply. What could be done to help the situation? At this time of year, Britain relies on Spain, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt for the bulk of salad imports. However, these crops have been affected by unusually cold weather last month, including intense night frosts, while tomato plants have also been damaged or killed by disease – in particular the tomato brown rugose virus. In the UK, a cold snap and frost before Christmas also damaged field crops including cauliflower, cabbage and carrots. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024.

Angel Delight is lovely. Blancmange is hideous. Butterscotch, obviously. Is Blancmange the same as Angel Delight?

There's a few items which we still get from sainsburys because they are either better than the equivalent lidl product or simply aren't available in lidl. It's quite amusing when driving out of the sainsburys car park, the cars behind often follow and follow us straight to the lidl store. NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives Meanwhile, Britain and other northern European countries – particularly the Netherlands which is a big vegetable producer – have reduced how many crops they have planted over the winter, after the Ukraine war sent bills soaring for the energy required to light and heat greenhouses and the cost of the fertiliser used on plants. It seems so. There are no reports of shortages in France and Germany and European shoppers have shared photos on social media of full supermarket shelves, in stark contrast to British supermarkets.
