Living La Vida Lockdown – Day 90 – Strange, Strange Times …… Now We Are In The Midst Of A Malteser Shortage …….

It’s been a strange, strange old week, made even stranger by news of yet another shortage, this time one that almost, but not quite snook past us ………

…….. as we have to admit to enjoying the pleasures of the Malteser Mint Button of late, after our recent review, thus putting our consumption  of “normal” Maltesers temporarily off kilter …….. until, that is, we needed to get some in to fill our special Malteser dispenser for Iris and Bertie’s now permitted support bubble visits ……. only to find ourselves scuppered, not a single bag or box was to be found anywhere in Evesham, at the retail park up the road or even online!  This is serious!

According to various newsfeeds, there has been some sort of  mechanical malfunction at the Malteser factory in Slough. To be honest, questions need to be asked in Parliament or failing that Question Time, as to how, particularly in these already testing times, machines vital to the countries well being have been found wanting ……..

…….. individually wrapped Flake 99’s just don’t hack it …….  especially when thinking of the mess that generally ensues after giving one to a small child …….. aghhhhh!
