So he is lying ? Odd response.
Popped into Tesco earlier and spent £12 getting passport photos for the children for a holiday we probably will no longer be able to take. Then bought the ingredients for Toad in the Hole plus one of the few remaining packs of Super Soft Andrex (9 frickin’ rolls of double-quilted gold dust!). Feeling pretty pleased with myself I took my precious goods to the tills and paid.
Of course, it was only when I got home I realised I’d paid for the Andrex but left it at the checkout.
I can’t even panic buy right

The Uk is a net exporter of arsewipe - there is no chance supply will run out, exports will simply be stopped if necessary. People stockpiling it are as thick as pigshit, and selfish to boot.
I was in there yesterday too. They had loads in there and I didn't see one person clamouring to buy them. I didn't bother either as I didn't need it and don't want to get into that mindset.
I did however notice that they only had the cheapest variety available which I used to buy but recently made the decision to stop buying as it makes mini cigars when used. Maybe everyone else was also aware of the mini cigar effect and had also decided to refrain from buying for that same reason. Let us know how you get on with it.

What is your response to the elderly person who has just found the loo roll shelf empty in your supermarket ?

Woman in Lewes Tesco 0600hrs yesterday buying loads of boxes of tissues and multi packs of kitchen roll in lieu of loo roll, of which there was none. Flushing kitchen roll is just going to cause fatbergs.

I went to Lidl Shoreham today and was fairly desperate for a no.2 and there was no loo roll. Fortunately, there was a member of staff outside the toilet. She went into a locked room and came out with one roll. Obviously that was all I need but I think the loo roll is on lockdown.

Beggars can’t be choosers, I was glad for anything.
Nothing can be as bad as the hard, tracing paper type loo roll, at primary school in the 70’s. Branded Izal according to the internet.
Shower?

Other people are thick and yet it is you that do not understand why people are stocking up...

There is no loo roll shortage at our local supermarkets. Maybe the people who do the planning and buying for them are just better at their jobs than down your way.
They are overstocking.........and selfish.

I'm guessing the buyers don't anticipate folk going loopy, buying all the stock up.
As for Norfolk, I guess you either have bidets or don't bother to wipe yer bums.
Easier to wipe with webbed hands ?

Bought bog roll today plenty in the shops.....a 9 pack will last a few weeks..
Very true.
And if you doin't join in you lose out. No bogroll down here now. I could have been virtuous and not stocked up, but then I'd be wiping my arse with the Faversham Times, come Tuesday.
I had a conversation with a smart lad at Victoria Station 20 years ago. He said "this may seem civilised here, but if someone screamed 'Bomb!' you'd see the old and kids trampled to death in the stampede for the exits"
We are so not far away from the rest of the animal kingdom it barely warrants comment.
.....can use both sides.
