.... are off the menu for a while, apparently as the factory where they are "baked" was damaged by the flooding in Carlisle. :( We buy them regularly ...

I guess we don't realise just how much disruption and misery this recent weather has caused to businesses as well as homes ..

Quite a few people and companies (esp the smaller ones) will have been hugely affected by the flooding. Yes insurances may pay out but that usually takes some fair time - and often it's the financial struggle over those months that breaks the companies / homes...

Repairs need to be approved and monies re-compensated quicker.
