Panic Buying

I'm surprised the authorities haven't given greater emphasis to the benefits of using camouflage. The virus can't infect you if it can't see you.

 

No potatoes or onions in Tesco today. Was told they have also stopped selling all loose items of fruit & veg so minimises people touching the food on the display.

The problem as I see it is the supply chains breaking down over the coming weeks, there could well be a shortage despite what the government say.

 

I caught the panic buying bug and bought 50 rolls of grease proof baking parchment

 

Saturday morning shop report. M+S little sign of shortage or panic to report.

We also popped into Sainsburys. Passed by a guy in a face mask carrying bottled water (is there any reason why the water should get cut off?).

The thing we wanted, flour, had been stripped from the shelves. Quite a few other empty shelves, cleaning products, medicines, pasta all cleaned out. People a bit like Oh sorry you said ‘virus’, I thought you meant ‘zombie apocalypse’.

Either that, or ‘Bake Off’ is coming back.

 

People are ******* idiots. That is all.

 

Amazingly toilet rolls available but fridges stripped of frozen vegetables........ only broccoli left

 

Just to clarify, I have autistic children with very specific dietary requirements and greedy ***** panic buying actually makes life very difficult.

 

Can't agree more. No dried pasta available as usual but tons of fresh pasta. OK it costs a bit more but chuck it in the freeer and it lasts for ever.

 

Many moons ago at a car boot sale I bought a very basic bread maker for 50p. As it had no instructions it took a while to learn how to use and we were soon waking up every morning to the smell of fresh bread and I never, ever bought 'shop' bread again. When it finally died (a couple of years ago) I had no hesitation in going out and replacing it with a top of the range all-singing-and-dancing modern one THAT HAD A BOOK OF RECIPES.

Now we're in the viral apocalypse it's become nigh on impossible to find white/wholemeal 'strong' flour that the makers require. The only flours readily available are rye and spelt. We've discovered that bread make from these grains are really high in fibre - which may explain the sudden rage amongst the population to buy lots and lots of toiler paper.

 

Squash a Greggs meat pastie in an old baked bean tin, for a similar effect.

 

I have now ceased panic buying due to being ordered not to in an email from Lord Sainsbury himself.

 

Yesterday I panic bought 20 bottles of Baby Bio house plant food

 

This must be a heartening time in a way Clive - everyone in the Daily Mail comments section strangely now strongly in favour of the government forcibly taking over private hospitals and opening their wards to the masses. Surely time to go on a recruiting campaign?

 

Coronavirus: The Politics

 

Yes, the world is turned upside down.

 

Are the people in the Mail's comment section even real?

 

Latest behaviour is people not taking veg off the top crate because people might have touched it. Of course the selfish idiots are just leaving the top crates on the floor and not putting it back.

 

A barely controlled riot in Sainsbury's this morning. People striding about piling their trollies high and with a very determined look in their eye. Huge queues for the tills.

Got one chase/push along with a trolley up my backside, several bumps and bashes and had to leap out of the way of gritted-teeth, out-of-my-way-scum, trolley jockeys.

One bloke got his 50+ packets of paracetamol stripped off him at the checkouts and one of the till girls said "ridiculous!" right to his face.

 

You have a listen to the David Icke podcast. He has some interesting,funny & also far fetched theories about recent events.

The one that made me laugh was along the lines of it's governments attempts to kill off the old, so they don't have the overwhelming pension obligations in the future.

 

Well, yes. You’re not permitted to buy more than 32 paracetamol tablets at any one time in any case.

 

Very wise. Within 3 months we will all be growing our own food just to survive.

 

Some of us already do...

 

You'll need round the clock security.

 

They've been doing that anyway, albeit with a little more subtlety by gradually raising the pension age. They want us to keel over dead at work - no pension to pay out! Job's a good'un.

 

This week I will mostly be panic buying vegetable seeds

 

Which is better than you deciding upon ammunition.

 

dont need to m8 I always by my 12G & 20G cartridges in bulk

 

I went to the shops and couldn't find any Bosnian midfielders because everybody is Pjanic buying.

 

And with that, I'll log out for another month. Good day.

 

THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
