The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[BigOscar]

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.

If all else fails I’ll just eat some of the bats in the loft.

You'd probably be glad for some bog roll after that tbh

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.

My Asda was out of Pasta

Is that a new Morrissey title? or was it, Take the last pasta, fatty?

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
