It's Leicester. Speaks for itself really.

No good showing us a picture of the empty shelves. We want to see pics of the spazwits responsible

It's the idiot store staff/management who ALLOW the morons to buy it in the first place that are mostly to blame!

Firstly, as this nonsense 'panic buying' is starting to take off again, even though there will be NO national lock down and there *is* NO food shortage, nor will there be (same as last time), every supermarket should've introduced a maximum purchase quantity on all 'essentials'.

Secondly, if it were me in charge of a store, I'd not only strictly enforce the above rule, but SHAME the selfish, brain-dead fuckers at the till points, by LAUGHING at how pathetic they are and watching them SQUIRM, then have security kick them out on their ass!!

The satisfaction gained would be beyond immense.

Oh well, back to hanging my arse over the bath and using the shower extension again.

If my downstairs toilet was bigger I would have a bidet installed, or perhaps I should go for one of these:

future proof my house for when I get older and not have to worry about queues for bog roll

I first came across toilets like that in Japan. The Japanese go for that sort of thing.

The first thing I disabled was the seat heating - horrible; just like someone has used it immediately before you. The bidet function is fine - if you like to have a jet of water squirted up your backside.

Not sure about the heated seat myself - I always find heated seats in cars feel rather strange at first.

I see the panic buying has taken a grip. Times for booking of available grocery home delivery slots have stretched out considerably, from a day or so to weeks now, if you can find one. It varies from one supplier to another and no doubt there will be regional differences.

Good job I saw this coming (again) and have always maintained a decent stock of essentials. Something I have habitually done and not prompted by the beginnings of the Covid scare in February.

I never had any problem getting stuff in the last 'panic buying' spree. The corner shop never ran out of bog roll or anything else. It's just the panic-buying people don't go there because they don't want to pay a few extra pence compared to the supermarket price.

All blown out of proportion by the media and then that sets more idiots off out to panic-buy. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

[Macca]

If I had a big surplus of something I'd just get a story placed in the media about how there is a shortage of it. Hey presto not only are people climbing over each other to get to it, they're happy to pay a ludicrous premium for it too.

I drove past the local Tesco yesterday and the car park was jammed and people were queuing to get in. The only time that is seen here is normally xmas eve.

Think I'll start growing my own stuff. Now where can I get a toilet roll tree?
