 Look into who the hoarder is responsible in making the shortage Trystan, my assumption is that you must have many ham fisted people in your area??

Hamtastic!

I don't think you can hoard ham.

Generally I buy a small gammon joint and slow cook it with orange juice or sugar (to take the salt out) to make ham. So this week, that's what I've done again.

Snap Trystan- it's the most economical way of using ham... I usually do mine in cider and orange peel, we have it hot then it's sliced for salads or sandwiches.... really good taste.
 I usually buy smoked joints but found them too salty even with bringing them to the boil first to get rid of that first cooking liquid then put in a tagine... Lidls ham joints are very nice and reasonably priced.

 Hoping your shortage of Ham problem is now resolved. If, by some chance your shortage of Ham continues due to Ham-fisted people that you may have in your area. ?
Hoping the following is helpful?
You may already have started to look at other means of acquiring what you need to resolve your shortage.
The following is information of places where / what which may help you?
Ham, which I believe is in Gloucestershire. Rotherham,Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, also East Ham, West Ham, Hampstead Heath and Okehampton.
Further south you also have Southampton. No doubt there are more places that can be of help to you?
If by any chance you are still unable to resolve your shortage problem, as a very last suggestion I would like to think that the place Sandwich may also be able to help also?

We can’t get Lee & Perrins Worcester sauce.

I couldn't get that from Waitrose for a few weeks, but it was available on the last order.

What is worse, is when after having done and order and it all being accepted, is going into it the night before to be told that a couple of things you ordered are now not in stock. It's often really odd things as well.
