The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

On the basis that Andrex is no fucking use when you are starving I have gradually stocked up with bread mixes, bake your own breads, pulses, pasta, rice and tinned tomatoes.

I’ve bought a gun on the dark web in case anyone tries to steal my Cushelle bog roll

I can believe the first part of that post, d, but even with a fertile imagination I can't accommodate the slightest idea that you would wipe yer arse on Cushelle. Carborundum paper, cordless grinder, blow torch, perhaps, but my library of images has been stretched beyond breaking point.

The nice Hermes lady has just delivered ten packets of sourdough mix suitable for breadmakers. And I've got half a bottle of vodka which serves perfectly well as hand gel !
 
Going in for a knee op Monday so got extra painkillers and doubled up on dog food

The missus bought a huge pack as Tesco had sold out of everything else. I’d gladly wipe my arse with whatever’s to hand
 
Is there some suggestion that the supply chain for toilet roll is going to be affected somehow? Otherwise in two weeks there will obviously be loads of the stuff as all the panic buyers will have a house full of it, so won't buy their weekly bog roll?

Franny Lee told us there was money in bog roll just a bit before his time

Good point. I’m looking forward to meeting some friends for life in a couple of weeks down aisle 5 of my local Tesco. All the weirdos will be stocked up and hiding away from the world, leaving me and jack the lad down the road to pick up our pasta and lager tins in peace.

It's the classic conundrum, bog roll fort or mummy fight.
 
Woman behind me in Aldi earlier with a stack of bog rolls. When told she was only allowed two packs she started muttering about panic buying.

Ironic - we all blame someone else.

P.S. Sold her a gross in the car park at £3 per roll.
 
Doesn't seem to be a panic over fuel at the moment surely if the refineries can't operate with sickness levels petrol and diesel will run out rapid
