It's the 'reduced to clear' shelves for the supermarket they are supposed to be empty

I thought that was Tottenham’s trophy cabinet for a moment.

People are selfish morons.

Weather at 11.

Same media-driven bollox we had to deal with earlydoors in this pandemic. Same morons will react to it and duly act like dicks buying stockpiles of shit. Meanwhile, normal life and normal purchase patterns go on for most normal people

We send the EU £350,000,000 a week.
Let's fund HGV drivers instead.

Noticeably fewer lorries on the roads this past week. I can't drive an HGV but if it helps I'm happy to lob a half-full plastic bottle of piss in a hedge.

Appears panic buying is rife again as stocks run low in supermarkets on key items, Mrs Crodo went to our local Co-op this morning to get some avocado, granola and almond milk for breakfast and the shelves were pretty much empty.

i had no idea you could make milk out of avocado and granola..!

Hopefully you've sold your shares in ProPlus & Red Bull.



It's the Truckstop prostitutes I feel most sorry for.

Won't someone think of the prostitutes?

Must admit went to the local pub last night and 2 of their barrels had run out so the pumps were down, beer shortage?

Plus being told by scaremongering idiots we will be back in lockdown in a week

This will NEVER grow old

Most other countries are trusting the vaccine and fully vaccinated adults.

Don't think it's panic buying. It's been widely reported that there's distribution problems (partly Brexit - not enough UK resident truck drivers; partly so many of the truck drivers we still have are self isolating). And then in stores themselves, they're starting to report that self-isolation levels among staff in some areas is affecting their ability to put the stock on the shelves even if they have it.

Unfortunately that starts the ball rolling though, doesn't it?

Hearing the same stories on the radio this morning and I thought that iw will trigger some folk to buy a little bit extra "just in case" and it all just goes from there, as it has on previous occasions.

Fair play to Crodo for categorising the thread under 'Other Sport'.

Most other countries will look at our daily case figures and quite rightly tell us to f*ck right OFF

Spain and England have roughly the same rate now?

France lessened the entry requirement a couple of days ago for fully vaccinated.

I am comfortable with this situation and the daily farcical stories, as long as I am assured that the Government are working incredibly hard and lessons are being learnt.

 

[Kosh]

I can't fathom why the supermarkets didn't limit purchases from last week, you know when they started moaning about isolation's... We truly have created one of the most incompetent societies ever to walk the earth.

And yes, people really are idiots. Absolute idiots. We're due to holiday in Sussex next week, if we don't starve to death with dirty bums we should have a nice time.

Can't wait.

Which I’m sure they are, on both counts
