The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[WEMBLEY76]

No

 

[KS55]

Yes. It's in case you get holed up....

Get the Mirror delivered and tear it up. Was good enough in the fifties, better than Bronco or Izal.

No evidence that the virus causes weeping arses or runny noses. Thats why I'm baffled.

In case you can't leave the house for 2 months apparently

[bluemcr]

No Yorkshire tea bastards!

 

[chaddblue]

Totally agree mate. It’s ridiculous, but that apparently is the reason

 

[idahoblues]

No Yorkshire tea bastards!

Shit's getting serious!

 

[kaz7]

I am obviously not getting this! Is diarrhoea a symptom of the virus.?

Wot no chocolate cake?

 

[KS55]

Reading the latest, I see I will be ordered to stay at home. Over 70s and those with serious medical conditions will be confined to barracks. I qualify on both counts, so get stuffed Boris, you'll have to tie me down.

 

[KS55]

Wot no chocolate cake?

Ok, up my offer: add 1 choccy cake, plus bottle of gin. Last offer.

 

[mccity]

Bog rolls....sugar......milk .....and the latest in very short supply is fucking salt!!!!!!

Hopefully when the Premier League is rendered null and void the city of Liverpool will save us on that front.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I bought some biscuits today in case I get a sweet tooth while I’m in my bunker.

Half the biscuits have gone already.

 

[bluetonium]

Given part of our bog roll and other stuff to elderly relatives but now going to need some ourselves this week I think. Expected the shops to have refilled by now but seems the panic buying is still happening.

Curry is banned until further notice, or at least until I find a shop with some stocks.

The good news is that I have enough Disney's Frozen pasta shapes to last, as my youngest has declared she no longer likes them from pretty much demanding them every meal, and nobody else in the house will touch them. Will chuck them in a food bin, or put them up on gumtree for a swap with a pack of Andrex!

 

[Nascent Blues]

Can somebody explain to me why the panic run on bog roll?

I'm pretty sure that the first media report concerning stockpiling was actually to do with America and included footage of empty shelves and shoppers with trolleys full of shit roll. It may have been in Chicago, but I can't be positive. I can only summise people who watched this then went out and did the same, without any thought as to why they might need said shit roll.

It's really fucking depressing and pathetic, but I think the answer to your question is: monkey see, monkey do.

You try to say Kaz is full of shit..

 

[its a Barm]

Nothing left apart from Panadol extra. The people near me must be just tight bastards when it comes to stock piling. All cheap stuff gone, the more expensive stuff left there.

I think that tells a lot about the type of person doing this.
