I always say "I've heard there's going to be a sugar shortage so I'm stocking up".

The other day a couple went back round the store and bought some more sugar. !!!!!!!!!!

As far as I understand it, the sugar tax is about carbonated soft drinks. To try an discourage parents plugging their brats into bottles of coke etc........

Blue Peter did a very good lesson on children's hour back in the 60's, on something that was legal to do back then, round about the end of October.

I was actually thinking of other uses for sugar Ice. A couple of them that I can think of are even more unpopular with the authorities (one of which I was taught professionally in a previous life).......

But as with anything, there's often more than the intended use for a material......

Well it's better to tell them it's for wines, beers, chutney, etc as the alternative (not stilling) might get you a tug.........

the men with the funny shaped heads take a dim view if you make too much of a smart arsed reply that alludes to nefarious uses....

6 bags in the trolley every week at Aldi. Operators assume I am doing beer and wine, and occasionally ask what I am making this week.

My standard responses to checkout persons, regarding large amounts of sugar in my trolley are, depending upon the season...
"Making Jam or chutney",or "going to try this home-brew malarkey", or "feeding the Bee hives" (which I do not have, but gives me instant Kudos)!

I think your right H2rpo there seems to be no difference
in taste or fermentation to me. I just buy the cheapest.
We do use quite a lot of it guys, can anyone shed some
light on this.
I do get some odd looks in Tescos etc when you have 50 or
so kgs of sugar in the trolley, oh and bottle of Daddy's
sauce for my Bacon rolls

£1 per 2 kilo in Morrisons ...has been for some time now.

The difference between cane and beet sugar........even in its raw state, The is no CHEMICAL difference. Their chemical make up is exactly the same. I’ve done blind tests and have yet to find anyone who can tell the difference in taste.
