Nowt wrong with making profit - world wouldn't go round without some incentive but a hefty hike in real terms over a short period, especially while many are suffering financially does seem a bit excessive. Of course we had the damned idiots stocking up like a nuclear Winter is on the way but that has subsided (with many said idiots homes full of stuff they'll never use) and I've seen no indication of prices returning to their previous levels. Can understand there may be some increased costs for them but the major supermarket chains have all been recording some astounding profits which can't all be down to the initial hoarders spree.
