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.

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"

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

Oliver_W 20-03-2020 02:41 PM

Toilet roll supplies have been
Spoiler:

wiped out


They're more can be
Spoiler:

rolled out


But hopefully they won't be

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 .

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
