: we were looking at the bread ■ 4; section, one of thestaff started clearing the bread loaves and 2 putting them into a big basket. We asked if the products were ■; being reduced to sell as it was!? the end of the day. We were surprised to be told; | that they were not allowed to p reduce the bread and it was v '; going for pig swill, hut that we could still buy them at full price ifwe wanted any. ; ■


.


We politely declined, though ’ 4 we would have bought them i f they had been reduced in ■ ^ -4


price. » > , ;


This seems to me to be a bit o f ^ a eontradiction, when on oneT^ hand the food was not allowed 4 to be sold off cheaply topeople-?

In fact I find it quite disturb- : ing to think that some people—; in Clitheroe are having to rely onfoodbanks,butourlocal 3.':: supermarkets a're sending.£fi.’ ;; perfeetlygo'qdfoodtopigs.
