Chinese buying up all the baby milk !

Mrs Kia?

M and S branded baby milk ? No
Waitrose ? No ( tried yesterday)
Fenwicks food ? You having a laugh? No
Sainsbury’s local ? Erm no .

Pathetic ! I am sooooo glad I started this thread ! Keep it coming Mrs Kia I’m loving it !

To be honest, if I had enough contacts, I'd be a daigua. Gotta be easier than fighting my way through a teaching day.

My post of 13:59:44 should of course have read, "This has got nothing to do with racism. Just to make it clear.

LOL Gonegirl

Let me guess trisher. Jesmond.

Please please please can we stop blaming the Chinese. There are over 10,000 students from the far East living in the centre of Newcastle and I doubt if the lady in Boots can tell a Chinese person from a Korean or someone from Singapore or Hong Kong. And some of the students have babies and they have just returned to Uni so could be stocking up.
lemon you don't need a car in Newcastle we have an excellent transport system. I live 15 mins frrom the city centre and I don't drive.

Eh! I've just had a thought. Perhaps she wants to use her Boots Reward card. Not everyone is rolling in money. Some people have to watch the pennies.

And don't take the Lord's name in vain. I will be horribly offended. I might ask for it to be deleted.

Gonegirl if you don't get that...

Boots X 2
Sainsbury's (Monument metro)
Tesco (behind Grainger market)
M&S
Possibly Fenwicks food dept but can't swear to that one

OP God! You know it all don't you Gagajo. Or think you do.

Of course it's not racist. How could you complain about the Chinese buy ng up all the stock without mentioning the Chinese? It could be men from Mars, for all the difference it makes.

gillybob, M&S is NEXT to Boots in Newcastle. Jeez

Loads of grocery places in the city centre ? That stock baby milk Really ? Can you name them all please cos I can only think of 2 .

I’m glad I started this thread. It’s really showing some people up for what they really are !

And for the record some Morrison’s have reported the same problems !

It’s great if you don’t work and have all the time in the world to go to every supermarket isn’t it? Especially when you don’t drive either .

It's fine lemongrove there are loads of grocery places in Newcastle city centre. This is a non issue.

It’s not a radical idea GagaJo I suggested that upthread.☺️

Because Gonegirl it's a racist idea.

Don't let the Chinese buy up all the baby milk.

1) They're not.
2) Shop elsewhere
3) Racist
4) Not illegal

To be honest, I'm surprised GNHQ haven't swooped in by now.

Thinking it through, it’s fine if you have a car and can whizz off to another store, but what about those Mum’s who don’t
(My DD doesn’t.) If they are used to buying milk in town, and can’t get any regularly, I can see there would be a problem.

Or Boots could (radical idea I know) massively increase their stock. City centre main Boots is HUGE and there are many empty units in that shopping centre.

Just imagine all the extra profit they could make.

God! I bet gillybob wishes she'd never started this casual thread now!

Who knew anyone would take it this heavy?

Thank you trisher voice of reason.

We live in the area. NEVER not been able to buy formula here.

It seems that all the managers of stores in the region need to
Do more to stop this problem.Have you emailed them, and ask your DD and all her friends to do the same?

As I said gillybob SIX places within a 1/2 mile radius in Newcastle centre to buy milk, Hardly starvation. Wee bit of hyperbole going on there luv.

Oh come on gillybob Tyneside is a hugearea with hundreds of shops surely they haven't all sold out- no one is going to starve!
