we are noticing shortages here too,

but it isn't making us panic buy.

That makes things worse as tempting as it might be.

Just wish everyone thought the same way.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said it had received reports the site in Leicester was "filling with smoke" at 10:43 GMT.

Walkers said the fire was on the roof of the building but had been brought under control and crews had left the scene.

Workers were evacuated from the factory but the firm said everybody had since been accounted for.

Asda cheese and onion crisps were very scarce the other week. Big packets seem to run out quite quickly. I really like Marks and Spencer’s crisps but as we don’t have one in my town, I’m hoping the next time I’m in one, they’re available.

Just did the weekly shop and was more worried by the lack of eggs and sugar than the crisps but those too were in short supply.

I managed to snaffle the last multipack of own brand crisps though and swaggered to the car with a wry smile and a sense of satisfaction.

I'm not swapping my crisps for Skips. I got Giant Wotsits too.

They were low on hot chocolate powder for the teenager, though.
