winkie Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Always thought yogurt was a high margin product and so easy to make for the cost of milk.......learned so much from my Asian friends how to make so easily at home, IMO we have lost the ability to do and make so much ourselves and therefore have to pay others to do it for us....

I did a post a few years back now about making butter. If you see dlouble cream on the discount shelf at the super market...but it all and make your own butter. Tastey, delicisios and simple to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canbuywontbuy Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Don't worry, there's plenty of zero hour "flexijobs" for the 225 ex-fulltime workers to pick up - et voila, how to build a "high employment economy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashinmattress Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sad news, but not really new per se. Makes one's blood curdle? Churns me guts? Udder madness? Now that's another 225 that lactose jobs they had? This was announced back in March 2016. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-35933359 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCountOfNowhere Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The only redeeming feature/fact I can see form this obviously bad news story (sad for workers, unless their are BTL spongers) is that...... unlike many other periodic news reports of large layoffs this one does not seem to be, officially, due to the company relocating to some cheaper country - but rather that product demand is just not as high as needed to make that particular factory viable. So I am not sure we can hold this particular mass layoff story at the doors of the usual culprit of high cost of living for Uk workers. I'd be suurprised if it isn't a factor somewhere in this but it's not the main reason? Updated for accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkie Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have always said we should make our own stuff......if we get others to do it for us and pay for the privilege, we get what we ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justthisbloke Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Are these facilities part of the Robert Wiseman Dairies that Muller bought a couple of years back? Or, maybe Dairy Crest - I think Muller have been buying dairies all over the place. Some consolidation is to be expected, I suppose. I had shares in RWD and had collected decent divis over the years - was very miffed to see them taken private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhail Liebenstein Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Isn't this perhaps to do with reducing consumption of sugary snacks? Let's not stir some runny jam like substance or chocolate mini-balls into our sweetened yoghurt. I personally prefer it Greek Style baby!

justthisbloke Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Greek yoghurt with honey - in the 80s at least, that was what passed for breakfast out there. I liked it a lot - but was still bloody glad to get back to blighty and have proper breakfasts. Nowhere but here does a proper brekkers. Croissants! Fruit! Yoghurt! The closest I came in my travelling days to a decent filling breakfast suitable to set you up for the day was in South East Asia where you'd have a curry and a cup of tea.

Central America does a good brekkers. Heuvos revoltas (scrambled eggs with ham tomats etc) with jacks, beans and rice. Little dab of hot chilli sauce on the side, and a Nescafe. I still do that for brekkers every now and then to this day. Not the nescafe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
