We’re short of milk and bread, but how about some haggis?

- By Sara Spary and Katie Morley

SHOPPERS have been left scrambling for basics such as bread and milk after finding supermarke­t shelves empty.

Delivery drivers struggled to drop off their loads to stores as a result of icy roads, while shoppers panic bought remaining supplies for fear of being snowed in. And customers shared pictures of empty shelves online.

One shopper, Libby Brooks, tweeted a photograph of a section of a Sainsbury’s store in Glasgow, which looked almost bare save for two lemons, two kiwis and some tins of haggis.

“Empty shelves at my local supermarke­t in Glasgow this lunchtime, but at least there’s still tinned haggis left...” she wrote.

A Sainsbury’s spokesman said: “Supply is good and essentials like bread and milk are still available.”
