Why can’t I buy just two teacakes any more? Now it is packs of 4 or more. BUT I ONLY WANT TWO!!! Packets of bacon or cooked meat are rarely in packs of less than 10 rashers/slices. Supermarkets are not geared for the single person.

No they're not an evil necessity, we choose to visit them for convienence.
The high streets are awash with shops were there used to be the small independents, we now find them all under one roof at the supermarket.
However there are still some, and I tend to use them.
At my families bakery you can buy just one teacake if you so desire, and there is wheelchair access for all except the largest of scooters, when the assistants will come outside to serve you.
I don't think my Mum would let you sqeeze her teacakes though, but after sixty years of baking them I can assure you they will be fresh.
No squeezing then, but my Mum usually has the shopfull of people in stitches, and the caberet comess free.
