Problem with Farmfoods milk

Has anyone been to FF and noticed empty milk chillers. On one of the chiller doors there is a handwritten sign saying that due to unforeseen circumstances that they are unable to supply milk for the unforeseen time.

I popped into ff on Tuesday and there was milk and yesterday there was the sign.

Does anyone know why ff are having issues with milk supply?

    It's Easter, they probably ran out, supermarkets are closed today, not sure about Easter Monday, so they probably didn't want to order more incase it got wasted.

    easter should not effect milk as its got about a 10 day life.

    I would be curious to know if any other supermarkets are having issues, if so its probably a manufacturing issue. There could be hole host of reasons for this.

    Do you think it might be independent retailers buying it all up to sell at a profit? :think:

    Maybe it's store specific, as i was in the Burnley store on Saturday, and all was fine there.
