How much is a loaf of bread? (FAO Alun Bowden ;) )

Received the April Poker Player Mag today - was reading the "Confessions of a Poker Player" on page 17 with Barny Boatman and the last question was "How much is a loaf of bread?" to which the respone was "99p (more like £1.20, but not a bad stab Barny)". Now, I dont know where the Poker Player Mag team do their shopping, but I would never dream of paying as much as 99p for a loaf of bread, let alone £1.20!! Though I do confess to giving as little of my money to supermarkets as I can get away with. A look here, http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/shelves/Bread_in_ASDA.html shows the price of an 800g loaf in Sainsbury can be had for 47p. You can even get a brand name like Hovis for 75p (2 for £1.50. Usually £1.05 each). You can even get a wholemeal loaf for 60p. Even if we go up market to Ocado (Waitrose), you can get a loaf (800g) for 60p (http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/shelves/Bread_in_Ocado.html) So I have to ask, where on Earth do the Poker Player Mag Team do their shopping where a loaf of bread sets them back £1.20? I much prefer Barnys answer of 99p, but even that IMO is way too high!
