They will be private sellers regarding the Vicks.. Any Profiteering out of a national Emergency needs strict penalties, But will they do anything about it! Nop

Amazing how many clueless non-experts there are giving out 'advice' on TV. Politicians and the church for instance. Surprised we haven't seen any mindless babbling from Diane Abbott yet, that would be par for the course. Although unfortunately, they didn't manage to keep Grant Shapps in his playpen.

All retail sales are profiteering , Buy cheap in bulk and sell at what you can get away with , The BIG four do it all the time and also offer PRICE MATCH if they think they will loose a sale as its 10p cheaper at one of the other 3 S/ markets

I take no notice of any of them Geoff. Taking notice of prats is a big contribution to the Mass buying people have been doing. Seems like common sense what you do in a situation like this. Part of it is what you should be doing day in day out of you life in general.

Well, I've been using our local dairy now for a year, primarily for delivery of fresh bottled milk (which incidentally tastes markedly better than supermarket stuff), and the prices haven't changed since then, so they aren't profiting from the current situation, and everything else they sell is reasonably priced and very good quality.

Plus, the Polish supermarkets near us are the same, where we buy our bread and various other things. The prices are what they've always been, so it's good to see not all smaller independents are being greedy and in fact are trading responsibly

They've got Sadiq Khan at it now, giving us the benefit of his two bob's worth. He always sounds about as bright as a three watt bulb to me!

[Firebottle]

^^^ yes

^^^ yes

I think I'd rather have the 3W bulb, more useful.

I was in Morrisons yesterday doing my usual snooping of the situation. I ought to have written a blog about all this behaviour which would not have been a joke if it had been correctly orchestrated from day one.

Anyway. The Soup section which is quite large was totally stripped with exception on Heinz 'Cream of Tomato' Soup.. Very odd. Pasta section is totally bare. I actually found a stray pack of ORZO hiding behind a jar of Korma' curry sauce across. I sniffed it out

No Mushrooms at all apart from a few monsters & surprise no shit house Roll. But if people want to rot in bed instead of getting up early they are always gonna find the shelves empty cos this panic buying is still rife.

...cos this panic buying is still rife.

It'll soon be stopping when the government imposes new measures to END it, and where rationing will be ENFORCED in supermarkets, to prevent stores from having their shelves stripped by selfish scum, posing as 'humans'.

And those measures will shortly be put into place, as it's become patently clear that you can't rely on rabid animals to think about anyone other than themselves, so they'll soon be FORCED to shop considerately. Just as similarly, for our greater good, the government have FORCED bars, cafes and restaurants to close, so will shoppers be FORCED not to panic-buy.

Mark my words, it will become a reality this week, and it should've been done MUCH sooner!

Marco.
