Is anyone else experiencing a shortage of eggs at the moment?
In the West Midlands, many supermarkets have run out completely, or are in very short supply.
Bird flu is being blamed.
Of course there are anguished comments on local Facebook groups saying, "...do you know which supermarket round here has still got eggs in stock..?"
If anyone replies, then people descend on that supermarket like a plague of locusts, and within a short period of time there are no eggs left at that supermarket either.
Reminds me of the great loo roll shortage at the beginning of the pandemic, and the great sugar shortage of 1974.
Strikes, shortages etc... it is really like going back to the 1970s.
