Grub's up! Sainsbury's will be Britain's first supermarket to sell INSECTS when 'smoky BBQ' crunchy crickets hit the shelves in 250 stores on Monday

I never found the insect snacks. x_x

Anyway, as I had to go into town this morning, I decided to shop in Sainsburys. They had not a single chilled item of anything, blinds were down in four aisles, and all the frozen food aisles were empty. Due to yesterdays heat apparently, they had run out of the chilling gas, and are hoping to be back up and running tomorrow. That must have been fun removing all the food!

Similar story at Asda today. Mrs M went in only to find little on the racks as two of the three chillers on her section were down. Apparently it was due to a computer malfunction in the early hours, a computer that regulates temperatures across the region's Asda stores, so the other local branches were in the same mess. Thousands of pounds worth of meat and other food were dumped today.

Good job our fridges and freezers cope, although I daresay a few gave up the ghost.
