we spoke to some shoppers in peterborough. in the shops it's not been too busy, because they've got more staff on, because the youngsters are off school, so they bring them all in. and therefore, all your tills are open. it's been a bit stressful. it's very busy in the shops. even at 2am, there was still plenty of people doing shopping as well, but managed to get most of it, that's the important thing. christmas dinner round the parents, so it's not been too bad for us. - just the cheeses and stuff like that we've been getting in, _ and obviously the port, getting the essentials. | i thought there might be some supply problems, so i'm one of those annoying people who got most things very early on. so, i think we're 0k. see, i'm very look of this year. i am going to see my parents this year, unlike last year, so i have not had to get anything in. let me introduce you to nicola. you work of the bread bank farm. talk to me about how much work goes into, not only today, that last minute rush, but getting everything ready in the su
