Now this is something I was send just after Halloween, but
somehow everything else has got in my way to post them... I am
sorry.
Anyway, on all hallows eve. My mum popped into ASDA and saw the flour shelves were
empty. Instead there was a sign that said.
"This shop will not sell eggs and flour to people under
the age of 16 years on either 30 or 31 October".
I could spend some time talking about the sign, so i will.
WHAT? Maybe it is my logical brain, but this sign is
poor. It has outlined conditions to which "people" can't buy flour,
but they emptied ALL the shelves. hmmm... From this we can
establish a number of things about ASDA's (Lowestoft) customer
base.
- People who buy flour will also buy eggs.
- People who buy flour (and eggs) will be under 16.
The majority of their baking customers must fit
this criteria for them to justify empting all stock.
Well, it is good to know that Lowestoft is
the capital of young bakers and (I'd hope) flour
fans - who specialise in flour arrangements ;)
But i didn't know (and I still assume) that baking related sales
to minors must be a insult to the Pagans, and ASDA must have Pagan
owners for them to take it seriously. Interesting.... and possibly
not true.
Anyway, by the time my mum recovered from the "shelf shock", she
walkie talkied my dad to bring a camera, but by the time he got
there, they started filling the shelves again.

As you can see one of the shelves is still empty, and the other
items are not full, but "faced up".

But being a good flour arranging supporter, my dad got some
snaps anyway.
You can see how these flour arrangers start the arrangement. A
little bit everywhere, but trying to keep it smart. You'll also
notice, that the range of flour is pretty good, they obviously have
a good deal with Allison flour.

I dunno if i can rate this flour. it wasn't really an
arrangement it was more about the shocking situation.
5/10 ?
