I suspect there are a lot of people reading or contributing to this thread who ARE going to do a big shop imminently but don't want to admit it because they don't want the shelves to be empty when they get there.
Well it would be a bit silly to encourage others to empty the shop before you get there.

Parmesan, gorgonzola and two bottles of wine, sorted
I have 1kg of parmesan in reserve, not enough Gorgonzola and no wine
I am not panicking just yet but have had to wipe my brow reading this thread.

Just got back from Tesco Holmbush and it was pretty manic - the queue out of the door was snaking down past the covered section and round the pathway towards the bus stop. The shelves were well stocked though, there was plenty of fresh meat, fruit and veg, and they were working hard putting stuff out. We got everything we wanted - right down to the ground nutmeg for my eggnog I am attempting this year. So busy then, but not stupidly out of control stripped shelves like during the first pre-lockdown, which surprised me slightly given the ominous news of the 48 hour port closures.
* I'll add here that this was not a 'panic' jobbie, just the usual final pre-Christmas supermarket shop we do. I refuse to go NEAR the place any closer to Christmas Day, and I'm certainly not having Christmas Eve ruined by a stress-test down there.

Because it's a WAR with the EU.
We've got Gunboats and we're going to use them!
I've already got plenty of that.

We have enough toilet rolls to eat for months and as long as the Daily Mail is being printed it can be put to its proper use...

Whoever wasted about 48 hours making that really needs a job.
The keyboard sounds really out.
The phrase is accredited to Marie Antionette who obviously is French so you can no longer use the phrase due to import restrictions you will have to make do with "missed the boat".

I get that, I asked wether people can leave France though, not enter?
Great Simone has finally answered my question, so if that’s the case why are people passing their pants over wether the clementines are going to arrive in time for Christmas?

Fortunately ordered my beer from Long Man brewery before panic buying set in.
