    maybe a shortage of milk due to the poor cows being depressed at his terrible British weather?

    I would happily pay an extra 10p on 2litrs if asda agreed to give an extra 15-20p to farmers.

    Very likely ;)
    I think they are just greedy.
    They can heavily discount beers wines and carp food, but stuff we all really need is going up.

    It's not an Asda rip-off, it's an Asda/Tesco/Sainsbury's rip-off as they've all done the same.

    We are no longer self sufficient in milk any more.

    Ah ha.

    So all the demand for cheap milk bought at evil supermarkets who keep the bulk of the money and pass on a pittance to the farmers has finally screwed the milk industry into the ground.

    Nice work.
