Disaster is looming for the Great British Public in the shape of a nationwide Milk shortage, all due to an increasing number of smaller dairy farms going into liquidation. Dairy farmers have been struggling for a great many years upon the general low price of milk and having to work solely to the demand of supermarket quotas. In reality this means for Xmas 2016 we could see a shortage of either Butter, Cheese, or Cream, perhaps more than one or even all three! So far this year the crisis is said to be worsening and there is a general shortage of supply throughout the industry, inevitably we are seeing the shop prices being driven upwards.
Since I first wrote this item, the price of a half-pound of butter, in UK shops, has risen by 20-30 pence, probably never to reduced!
