You are so right tinyem. Just tried buying a fresh loaf of bread on the parade. Complete fail - Coopers Bake have a day off so none in Nandi Nandi, deli is shut and HOP Supermarket only have packaged sliced (sorry, draw the line at that). Am not as mobile as normal so Budgens and other options not on this time, decided against making a sandwich for lunch at this point.

Will try and avoid this scenario in future (mental note, keep backup loaf in freezer) but, were it to occur next week, would find myself buying Sainsbury's bread, not the best but still better than processed.

Am not making a judgement here but found it interesting that such a basic item was not available.
