David Cameron Doesn't Know The Price Of A Value Loaf
Do you? I don't, does this put him out of touch with the people? We use a lot of milk but I'm not even sure what it costs, it just goes in the trolley as an essential item

Does the fact that Tony Blair can earn more in one year than David Cameron has earned in his whole life say anything about which of Labour or the Conservatives is more out of touch with ordinary people?

Do you think that "knowing how they live" has to involve knowing the separate price of each and everything they buy?
You could easily pick other examples ...
a pound of carrots
a box of tea bags
a jar of instant coffee
gravy granules
a bar of soap
economy shampoo
a bus ticket
a bag of potatoes
a pack of butter
Is it important for the person who runs the country to equip himself with the exact price of everything in supermarket, just in case he gets hijacked by some smart arse journalist?
I'd rather he left that sort of thing to Sam Cam, or the house keeper, and focused on that guy who says he's going to blow up shopping centres at Christmas.
Or no, hang on ... don't worry about the terrorists for a moment ... I've spent the morning writing down lots of grocery items ... could you just check the prices for me?

Considering that most people that actually do the weekly shop wouldn't know the answer it'd be strange if he did.
He needs to be aware of things like average net income, disposable incomes, poverty levels, cost of living etc in broad terms. He doesn't need to be able to answer a question about an economy loaf.
It's one of those silly things journalists like to do, like saying John Prescott is some kind of traitor to the people because he had two Jaguars available to him and played croquet.

“…eschewing the point that nobody can buy a pint of milk in a shop nowadays.”
Milk is still sold in pints, Fred. ASDA do one, two and four pints of fresh milk, (49p, 89p and £1 respectively):

Tesco do likewise though their prices are a little higher. Both Lidl’s and Aldi sell four pinters (though I cannot say if they do the smaller sizes in imperial units). However I noticed a week or two back that Morrisons, who used to sell milk in pints and multiples thereof, have taken to selling 2 litres instead of four pints (2.272 litres) but have kept the cost the same, thus increasing their price by a little over 12%.
When do I start as Prime Minister? :-)
