Heh, it amused me.

I frequently complain about the feebleness of local journalism, but I have a new appreciation for the Bangor Anglesey Mail and the Nottinghamshire Chad after reading this.

The comments at the bottom are the best bit. ;D

WTF? If I would suggest to my boss to write something on the custard shortage at the grocery store, he would laugh at me! Don't they have something more interesting to write about?

[Beowuuf]

Actually, it does highlight a larger problem with the current UK shopping. Small stores get squeezed out of existence, but now the large stores all have terrible stock control on their shelves. Or, perhaps to their profits, they have great stock control.

Still, very slow news day! And the comments scared me more! :shock:

A Co-operative Group spokesman said: "We are sorry to hear a customer is unhappy with our custard range in Whitstable."

My favourite quote in the whole thing. ;D

Wow, I wish my country was peaceful enough so that custard was big news. Aw, man.

After living in the UK for five years I can tell you with all seriousness this is a major catastophy second only to running out of cheap booze at the grocery store.
