Then again, why is it that wholemeal bread "with nowt taken out" (thus
presumably requiring less in the production process) costs more than
white bread?

Because you are willing to pay more for it.

Doesn't basic economics dictate that given competition, the equilibrium
price is determined by both supply and demand? Even if I'm willing to
pay a great deal, if the cost to produce the item is low, competition
should drive down the price. Are you implying that the market is a
monopoly or oligarchy?
