Most things available in my supermarket.
Bought extra loo roll as parents who said 'I'm not panicing' now can't buy any near them and are panicking

Popped to our local butcher and their main meat counter was empty.
The pre packed section still had some meat so we grabbed 4 packs of mince. 2 trays of chicken and 3 more big lumps of beef

i am pretty much out of industrial strength cooking lager. I am hoping there will be some left at the super tomorrow. Stocked up on vino today. Got to keep a supply of the essentials.

Going to find out how online shopping is affected don’t really need staples but need the stuff to make meals for the freezer again, bad timing I guess.

Our local shop is selling 4 rolls of Andrex for £3.99 - notice says hike in cost due to their supplier hiking cost to them as a result of high demand. There is no intrinsic supply issue - simply one that the UK public have created themselves. I didn't buy any.

That's right - too trusting we are - building is open to the public much of the day and most evenings.

I assume that the thieves have all been forgiven?
I can pray for them that they see the error of their ways and desist from future such behaviour...hmmm. And indeed I can forgive them for their need - unless that is they flog them exploiting the desperation of others then I'll maybe struggle a bit...

Don't understand why wholesale costs have increased. I suspect they haven't.

There was a piece on the BBC website where the country's biggest manufacturer of toilet rolls showed you the factory & the stocks they hold; iirc he said they had enough stock on site to make 72 million toilet rolls. Not sure that they've got close to getting through that, so I'd suggest it's opportunism by someone...

Tesco this morning was carnage.
Apparently there were 100+ people waiting when the doors opened at 9.30
Car park was full - you had to wait for someone to leave before you could get a space
Queues 8 deep at each checkout all with full trolleys..signs up all over the place limiting you to 1 box of paracetamol etc....
Just moronic and, quite frankly, embarrassing.

There's going to be a huge amount of waste thanks to all this moronic behaviour.

I bloody hate people - selfish, moronic, self-centered, stupid idiots...
Phew - that feels a bit better.
