I bought a basket full of rice from Aldi this morning, people don't seem to be panic buying it at the minute so I thought I'd fill my boots. I also got one of the two last bags of curly pasta, didn't want to look a cheeky fucker.

Toilet roll is still a no show.

Yeah, my lad works at Bookers and although they've got stickers up everywhere advising of sporadic deliveries they are trying their best to keep it stocked.

Heard two of the staff at my local Tesco talking about the stuff they’re holding back in the back.
