The TL hit a local Pakistani shop and got milk and bread. They were selling individual loo rolls for £1 and loose pasta in a bag for £1

:laugh: There's no fooling cats , they rule the roost Niamh.

chuck that ghost cat out to feed for himself

you must focus on gav and not that monster

:worry:

Thought I best do a full shop before everything goes tits up so I got up and got to asda for 6am. It was pretty suprisingly all the staff looked shocked and stressed. But im glad I went when I did. Managed to get toilet roll, pasta, nappies wipes etc before it all went again. So im sorted now which is a big weight off my mind

I always use to find it funny when Easter eggs were in shops well before Easter, I know Creme eggs get eaten all year round though :joker: .

Just done an Asda Shop, Got Milk and Toilet Paper (18 pack Andrew which was lucky as they wheeled them in off the trolley and everyone was gunning for them)

Didnt get eggs as they were at the bottom of the cages and didnt have time to wait

First time I've been in a big shop since coming back down to Essex..it was over in Kent. .

Shelves were empty and it was 10 o clock...only went in for a hot chicken skewer cause I'm of the vegan diet now....DAY 1.

There wasn't even hot pizza or pasties.

Since everyone ignored me first time :fist:

If you have a Marks and Spencers food store near you I recommend checking it out; we actually looked at each other confused for a second when we walked in and then laughed, because it wasn't short of stock at all... other than pasta and toilet roll. Got everything we wanted easily :shrug:.

The "main" supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsburies) are pretty bare btw so it's not just the area.

Cheers will go to marks tommoz and try look like I can afford to shop there all the time.

I made a rose out of toilet paper at work yesterday... someone said it looked like a suppository!

Our local shop is fine, has everything, Gav will be doing our main shop tomorrow in a bigger supermarket Dunnes so I will report back then

Thanks, the Simply Food in the BP petrol station was holding up well until yesterday, I think talk of a potential lockdown sent people crazy

i'm in too much of a panic buy to be reading TS posts :fist:

So it's not Niamh's Husband?:conf:

Okay, sorry Niamh for thinking it was your Husband.:laugh:

I really should've read this post off Kazanne first.

Well we mangaged to get our 1st bottle of hand sanitizer today ~ from under the counter at £5.50 !

It is 70% alchohol though.

Lt would be licking his hands.

Has anyone seen the video of the nurse In tears and the picture of the paramedic left with no food? It's disgusting theses people need food as this are the people whose hands we put our lives in

iv drank all my sanitizer

:(

well there is food, so that cant be right

edit: it was just fruit and veg she was on about (did she try frozen?)

hoping thing calm down now, as they will be running out of storage :fc:

There was an actual guy on the program 24 hours in A and E and they were puzzled why he had not sobbered up.

He was drinking the hand gel.

It’s disgusting and it’s not people on low incomes that are taking the piss.

yep i saw that - they dont have hand gel in recovery places for that reason

Rumour has it you got a full optics set attached to your head board.

i had a friend who would say when asked if he would like a drink would look at the bar and say " i fancy a trip around the optics tonight"

:joker:

Supermarkets and their supply chains are beginning to buckle under the strain of customer behaviour in the face of coronavirus.
Several chains are "drastically cutting" the product ranges in store.
They also said they were telling their manufacturers to ignore making some products to focus on those for which there is greatest demand.
Meanwhile, competition laws are being relaxed so shops can discuss stock levels and pool staff and resources.
"We currently sell 60 types of sausages - we are moving to a fraction of that," said one supermarket.
Another said: "We need to make food manufacture as efficient as possible - it makes no sense to pause to change packet sizes or change from one type of pasta to another.
"We have 20 different sizes and styles of pasta, we are moving that to six."
Morrisons have reduced their bakery lines from 17 to seven.
While executives insisted there was no shortage of food, they were struggling to restock shelves fast enough. Meanwhile, online delivery services are running at "maximum capacity"

Bet you went round with him

As i keep saying people have quickly change within a few weeks from #BeKind to being completely selfish and inconsiderate to the vulnerable. No one needs that amount of toilet roll and other things.

This nurse is upset at how selfish people are being.

we are animals, when people mention the possibility of death, survival instincts kick in ... that shows itself in this case as panic buying. We haven't had a threat like this in a century

Toilet roll supplies have been


They're more can be


But hopefully they won't be

Just been to m and s and its fine. Plenty milk and bread and the only thing missing was no tatties :(. Got some nice flowers for me mum and some tins and some of their actually quite good cooking whisky.Every one was being normal.

People like that nurse who are soo dedicated to helping people should be able to get food after a long hard shift, it's really not fair atall .

This is heartbreaking :bawling: I really feel for her.

And the fresh fruit and veg and milk and eggs all items that have short shelf dates so make no sense what so ever to stock pile as they will be wasted while someone goes without

Gav went shopping anyway, they had everything toilet roll, pasta, eggs etc but they had totally changed how they were allowing people to shop, a security guard was at the door to let people in as there was only a certain amount of people allowed in at a time and they'd set up a queue system that spaced everyone out. It took longer than usual but it was safer

Ness she is greeting because she could not buy fruit and veg at one supermarket!

"how can i be healthy" :umm2:



we need stronger people than that in a crisis

Ypu cant do a 48 hour shift on just frozen food simply as that
