Crumbs!

[nmg]

First direct impact that the recession has had on us - our friendly, local, family-run bakery is closing shop this Saturday! There is a Greggs over the road from them, but their bread isn't a patch on that from the Shoebox (and the bread in Waitrose always leaves me feeling rather under-whelmed).

On the plus side, they're keeping the catering and celebration cakes side going, but not from the Portswood shop.

What a shame; it's very tough for small independent retailers to compete with the supermarket behemoths now :(
