Last time I went to the supermarket was back in March. I don't miss it one bit.
Not been since January. I wasn't well enough in February and have felt no desire to go since. I've probably saved a fortune not making impulse buys (mind you, there's always ebay :)).Quote:

of course joe public fell for the "so called" truth like a shot, and caused a shortage... the reporting now is doing the same thing... say you have plenty stock really means get it while you can folks.
I might add my maw bought izal, and there was no shortage of that..it was like wiping your arse with a brick!!

I have a large delivery coming from Tesco tomorrow. Nothing to do with panic buying though, the order was placed nearly three weeks ago.
panicker :ner:Quote:

they must have realised this would happen.. i mean, muchof the public are gullable fools... wives send hubby to get 100 rolls, as she aint using the sun, (digital copy):eyebrows:
You're still getting deliveries from them though. That's cheating.Quote:

Totally agree on the first bit, and frankly it's more sad than funny, but I'm afraid you'll have to educate me on the concept of being 'sent out by the wife' to get stuff, as it's alien to me, other than when Del tells me she 'WANTS chips', at 10pm at night, and I've got to find somewhere still open that sells decent ones!:doh:Quote:

So we stocked up on some Cushelle, which is the only thing Del with grace her bottom with.
