    So Morrison's don't have adequate supplies of rice but most other supermarkets seem to(My Tesco's does). It must therefore be caused by nuclear contamination in a country that doesn't produce Basmati Rice and therefore we all ought to gibber and panic. Is OP sitting at home wondering what he can start a new thread about? I suppose that event if it did produce lots of rice for export the fact that the relevant power station is many hundreds of miles north of the main rice producing areas of Japan ought not to intrude on the basic hysteria.

    have a look in your local asian speciality shops (the small supermarket type places). we go through rice like it's going out of fashion and get the tilda rice (top quality) for half the price it is in asda
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Well, as usual Tesco only had expensive rice. All the special offer easy cook had gone and only a tiny gap for it, probably space for 3 packets!
