It's OK, I'm on Prep.

But I miss sports, and concerts I was supposed to go to.
I know on my part I'm following the instructions from our government, so I'm doing my best. It's a question of luck sometimes. Might get it, might not get it, we'll see.
I hope everyone on Tibb will be OK!

...the focus of stock piling seems to be with medication/medical supplies now...

...I smiled actually when I saw something similar with loo rolls when the stock piling started...there were still quite a few packs of some of the more expensive Andrex ones but not really much else...I think with Boots though and general medical supplies..?..it started as fairly focused on specific things like generic pain relief, as you’ve said....but there’s less focus now and it’s becoming ALL ShELVEs....I think we’re going to have little trades going on like with football cards...?....one multivitamin bottle for a 12 pack of ibuprofen....deal or no deal, TS...?...

It's the opposite at my nearest Tesco - when I say the shelves are "empty" of toilet roll, they are not, there is a huge, conspicuous, pile of the cheapest "value" stuff that looks literally untouched . To be fair it's like sand paper and clearly everyone knows! You'd be better using literally anything else. Piece of old carpet, the shower curtain, a cat...
