Pasta is “spic” food? I can’t work out if this ignorance is rooted in a lack of geographical knowledge or not having a full grasp of racial slurs...maybe both?
Lol

We started about 3/4 weeks ago, plugged in a new freezer in the shed and stocked up on frozen meals from Iceland. Been buying an extra one or two loads of bread each day from the Tesco’s over the road, got a few more extra large packs of toilet rolls due to the amount of coughing the kids are doing, advice is to cough into a tissue then bin it. Stocked up on pasta, tins, etc etc. Why wouldn’t we? Have 3 young children, 2 with cf, we made the decision early as it was obvious to anyone what was going to happen, glad we did now, have been on ‘lockdown’ now for a week. The panic buying is because people have been to slow to realise what was going to happen. It was only common sense.
So you don't think it's selfish to buy extra thus depriving other people ( including food banks ) of the opportunity to have supplies too ?
We're down to our last 3 toilet rolls in a house of 5 because I couldn't get any yesterday. Personally I'd suggest that's because of selfish w@nkers.
Exactly. Not sure they will listen though. This is the new virtue signaling witch-hunt thread. NSC always has to have at least one on the go at any one time.
Sorry, there is a massive difference between being pragmatic and having a few extra of what you need, and raiding shops like a plague of locusts - then selling on on eBay and Amazon at massively inflated prices.
Pull up the ladder, I’m fine and **** you poor, old and sick people!
And nothing to do with you failing to foresee what’s about to happen ? There are things we cannot buy so we have bought replacements instead but we don’t feel the need to insult people. This thread is just another excuse for angry, abusive virtue signallers to indulge themselves in angry abusive virtue signaling. I’m sure when this is all over these character traits will be return to the Brexit thread.
Perhaps you should be asking why it is that shops up here in Norfolk are still reasonably well stocked despite people stocking up, whereas down your way it is not working.
Have bought more lentils etc. Not stockpiling but cupboards more full now than we normally have them. Purely down to shops being stripped of goods made us change from the bare minimum approach.
I bought a pack of toilet rolls last Monday, just the one as the shelves were reasonably full. Now there's none anywhere so I kind of regret that a little now.

The supermarkets could have nipped this in the bud by imposing sensible limits on certain goods eatlydoors, instead of being happy to take the selfish w@nkers money
Angry people, too ****ing right.
My wife has cancer and falls into the “high at risk” category - can she get hand sanitiser, no she ****ing can’t, can she get ear pieces for the thermometer that she needs to take her temperature, yes, at 4 times the price they were 2 weeks ago. Can she get Paracetemol for the pain she’s in, no she can’t as the locusts have eaten them all.
Now tell me I’m a virtue signaller...!
**** you and your I’m alright Jack attitude...
The media is to blame for pretty much EVERYTHING! They're like flies around shitIs the media partly to blame though for scaremongering, albeit possibly inadvertantly or perhaps the action that's been taken in other countries like Italy? People have stockpiled instead of being rational in case the country goes on lockdown. But even on lockdown essentials would still be available with more than enough for everybody as usual.
I think as soon as stockpiling started happening the government should have jumped on it and banned it.
Haha - use the left hand apparentlyA perfect example of the stockpiling mentality.
