Re: BENEFITS hmmmm

Perhaps our resident cretin has forgotten that there is a charge for prescription items - around £8.00 for each item - unless you are over 60, receiving certain benefits or are under 16.
Jellies are not on the list, nor are doughnuts, but who would pay £8.00 for a jelly, bread certainly is and is far more expensive - you can see it in Tesco at over 3 times the cost of a Warburton's Toastie, the problem with getting bread on prescription is that the supplier will only supply 8 loafs, they don't have a long Use By Date and so one needs another freezer for them. Flour is supplied in 1 kg bags, not particularly good so we buy from Lakeland, not cheap but better quality. If people are in fact getting enough flour to set up a bakery business then the fault lies with the GP who has obviously over prescribed.
A discrete preparation area must be kept clear of contamination - even one crumb can precipitate an incident - I wouldn't wish one of those even on you.
You yourself admit that this whole story is trash - if that is your belief then why promulgate it?
I bought a GF Madeira Cake at the weekend - 450gm £3.00, jellies were standard price - Rowntree Jellies are naturally gluten free, and the strawberries & blueberries were from the market.
Perhaps you should watch BBC Breakfast at 0740 tomorrow when the CEO of the Coeliac Society will respond to the newspaper stories.
