Or maybe we aren`t the united country we once were, and maybe we are just a collection of selfish [zb]? I do hope some sense of community would show through.
What took you so long to figure that out?

Sorry…just born stupid I guess.

No need for anyone to agree, thanks anyway. 
at this rate by next week in strathclyde then buckfast will be selling at £50 a bottle.
Are cash machines (ATMs) sterile? Or should I kit up before touching one?

After Nicola imposed the alcohol tax, I thought it was £50 a bottle already
If all else fails cut the newspaper up into squares.
Or failing that go foraging for some dockleaves
Am dreading my weekly shop this weekend.
Being a truck driver don’t get much chance to shop in the week
Usually go fri or sat get enough for the coming week.
Seen ques at Aldi m&s Sainsbury and.boots the chemist this morning people waiting for them to open.
What gets me though is people been stocking piling for over a week now. So why are the quese still there?
Or is it a case omg I had beans on toast for tea last night.
I need to go buy a loaf of bread and 4 more tins of beans just in case…despite fact my cupboards are rammed full fridge and freezer is full. Maybe I need more cupboards and a new freezer.
Just eat what you have when stocks low then refill

Toilet rolls, definitely toilet rolls! Well the sheep seem to think that they are the single most important item to stockpile for some reason.I actually found out the reason for this. It would seem the Facebook retards saw a post widely shared by other Facebook mongs that all the tubes in toilet rolls are only made in China and that because of Covid 19 there’ll be a shortage of them and “Coronavirus can get into the toilet roll tubes” so there’ll be a shortage of bog roll. I kid you not, dumbassses on Facebook really believe it.
Quite believe that tbh. My cynical idea was that using idiotbook to spread the toilet roll shortage could actually have been an absolute genius master stroke from the advertising department of Andrex/Kleenex or whoever.
There are plenty of toilet roll tubes, the rats have been using them as nests for months in Bristol, corona virus and weils disease have similar symptoms and endings.
Doubled up post.
Perhaps a better way to have dealt with this “stockpile shopping” thing - would be:-
Charge normal price for the first item that is restricted to one per person
Charge 2x for a second item
Charge 3x for the third…
So if you insist on filling your trolly up with “restricted stuff”, the shopping will cost you about a grand. 
Doors open at 6am, a combination of old folk alongside supposedly “NHS workers” enter the shops with their empty trollys…
Minutes later, these whippersnappers have swept the place clean of last night’s delivery of “restricted items”, leaving the bewildered old timers struggling to find anything at all on their shopping list. 
Who’s idea was it to give “early preview access” to both “NHS workers” at the same time as the Elderly then? 
I’ve just got bits n bobs as I’ve needed them.
Although a mate brought some meat round,from his local butchers today.
Also got a man in warbies…although there was loads of bread in the coop…last time I went.
Think the panic buying is subsidising
Went out on the big supermarket shop today, cos we’re nearly out of quite a few items like Eggs and Cold Meats…
Couldn’t get these ANYWHERE I went, not even at marked-up prices…
Had to settle for fish, which wasn’t cheap…
Empty shelves at all the major supermarkets… I tried 'em all today during a shopping trip that had me out over 7 hours…
…Not eager to repeat that experience NEXT week!
Looks like it will have to be the local corner shop from now on, as if I’m paying over the odds, AND they won’t have it much of the time - I might as well waste as little time on trying as possible.
FFS though - six feet apart queues to enter ALL supermarkets today, one in, one out basis.
When this all blows over - I’m awarding the wooden spoon to Tesco - not a single delivery seen during the multiple stores I visited today. 3 out of 4 shelves empty - with the stuff being left on shelves being that overpriced stuff that doesn’t shift normally, so it beats me why they don’t discontinue such lines to make more room for the stuff that is perpetually sold out of late…!
Sainsburys were not much better, with Deliveries aplenty, but the shop staff not putting the stuff out “Until this evening, after the store has closed”… FFS half empty shelves again, “nothing done”. What a way to run a bloody supermarket!!
Top praise goes to Aldi, Lidl, and Waitrose which despite a smaller queue to get into - had stuff on all shelves, albeit not necessarily the lines I was looking for today among chilled range and all…
Iceland - didn’t let me in at all, as there was a person taken ill in the store, quickly said to be “Not Covid-19 related”…
Saw plenty of Richard Heads sanitizing their hands, only to then thrust their hands deep into trouser pockets for pert penny pieces, the kind that rub around your nutsack all day when you’ve got short arms and deep pockets…
Couldn’t get fairly liquid from my local coop,so shot into town to try Lidl.
Only 2 in the queue to enter(Just before 5pm)And once inside was pleasantly surprised at the stocking levels.
Still no bog roll though…but did get a pack from coop.
Should have tried Asda Winseer, I got cold meats, eggs, bread, milk, sugar, bacon and a few tins of soup from South Ruislip today. South Harrow even had bog roll and pasta and that was before my delivery went out. I didnt even have to rob it out of the cold store or warehouse, this was as a normal punter.
