Sainsburys in Forest Hill had eggs on Thursday last week but only in boxes of 15. They weren't there at 8am when the shop opened but spotted them in someone else's basket as they passed me so double backed. As I was only planning on buying a pack of 6 to free them up for others, I'm now being eggstravagant with eggy breakfasts!


And yes, they were still selling Easter eggs for between 10p and 60p

Stock is definitely better both at DKH and Bell Green, but I really didn't enjoy my last Sainsburys trip at the weekend, because of the customers. There were plenty of people wearing masks (good) but almost no attempt at social distancing from the majority of people in the store (bad) - lots of pushing past other people to get at stock and blocking aisles so people couldn't move past at a safe distance.


It really felt to me like people were getting back to normal shopping habits and/or felt like wearing a mask made them invulnerable. There were also lots of couples (of all ages) and groups shopping together, which I didn't think was permitted. I generally have been fine going out to do one big weekly shop but this was the first time since lockdown started that I felt really uncomfortable being out in public (even with a mask).

How can they last for "up to" three months ?


Surely eggs can't last as long as three months?

PS: I'm rereading Little House on Prairie trilogy; it was bloody hard work surviving in the 19th early 20th centuries. But at least I could build you a log cabin and preserve a pig should this quarantine take a darker turn!

You can't make a omelette without..

The 9 months was theoretical! The company I mentioned above previously supplied many high-end restaurants. So by buying from them, you are helping ethical British farmers keep their business going and taking pressure off supermarket stocks for people who don't want to or can't afford to buy 60 at a time. It's all good with no downside!

Because someone recommended a supplier of eggs, with a large minimum order. So shelf life is relevant.


Nobody is talking about deliberately stockpiling them.

mine last 3 weeks or so and i keep them in the fridge (we never used to)- i know they are better fresh for poaching or frying - I try and use older ones for other things.


I've never had the misfortune of opening a bad egg :)

Half of our 60 are already gone eating and cooking over 10 days. They are still as fresh and lovely now as they were when we bought them - quite a lot of baking going on here as well. Reckon we will have enough for the next couple of weeks then re-order. There are only 2 adults in our household but I can imagine with a larger family they would go down even quicker. You could even double up with a neighbour and split a batch. Anyway, I put the info out there for anyone who wants to take it up and I repeat this is not hoarding or panic buying, in fact, the complete opposite.

We have 4 adults- 3 are vegetarians- we all eat eggs and get through about 30 a week. Shortage of eggs was the only thing I worried about really.

      Thanks…..still convinced I can get my rent back - not vindictive person but no one treats me this way & gets away with it. Will teach them a good lesson if they get a fine - well two really - much rater have rent back. Yes, will be taking pix - already have one for mould in bedroom - now removed.

      Take your own meter readings and properly document the condition of the property when you leave. The LL won’t have a case to claim against your deposit without a sign in inventory. Not having an EPC is largely irrelevant- if you report him he might get a fine but you are unlikely to get compensation.

      Thank you both. Inexperience Landlord trying to save  a few pennies - hence no agent involved. The issue is the fact that it is my understanding that without an EPC that is current then they should not have rented the property - far  more to the point and taken rent from me. They commissioned an EPC 4 weeks & I am still waiting for or a copy!!! No gas in property. Well I guess it will be a case of instructing solicitors which I have tried to avoid doing but as they are not responding at all, I have no choice. If I am correct about EPC then it will cost them alot more than refunding me my rent.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .
