This is where rationing falls apart.
We're being told to shop as infrequently as possible, which for me is the norm anyway because I hate it, so buy 3 weeks worth at a time and live mainly out of a freezer for the last week or so.
If you ration, people need to shop more frequently. All the moron hoarders who walked around with 3 trolleys don't need to shop now for a couple of weeks, so Aldi was quiet, safe and moron free yesterday, with everyone giving each other space, just no Paracetamol, soap, hand cleaner, Pasta and some other empty shelves. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Firewood.
Only trouble is that it's quite small stockpile what with Spring coming soon, but it does get chilly here at night.
Trouble is, Sid won't burn it. He's keeping for (more) marquetry projects if the shut down goes on for months as predicted.

Exactly, and now people have what they need our quarantine will be more effective.

bit of sly opportunism there I think. |
It requires some common sense though. I got a 32 pack of toilet rolls in Tesco the other day. One pack is plenty, I certainly didn't need 3 (96 rolls) nor does anyone else! |

No wonder there's a shortage if they've been filling shelves with bulk packs instead of the usual 4s. |
I don't think I've ever seen a 32-pack of bog roll in my entire life. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

It's good idea, as long as they continue to stock the normal size packs as well I suppose. Thing is, even with that, I'd still have to go shopping at least once a week, as I can only carry so much at a time. I just can't stockpile. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I bet it's one of the dearest brands you can buy too. Not daft this Tesco's lot. If you're encouraging panic buying, might as well coin it in.
32 bog rolls will last most households long after they've ran out of food. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I have a feeling there will be a few companies trying to cash in on everyone's misery. I noticed yesterday the energy company has taken a payment out of schedule, early - less than what my next quarterly would probably be. Gonna have to call them tomorrow - if I can get through ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Tesco trip today and that was much better. Not many folks there compared to a normal weekday, shelves quite well stocked, only a few empty shelves, got everything I wanted. Maybe this madness is settling down a bit now, at last.
What I really hate about it, and I guess everyone else does too, is now I have to wait and see if I picked the damn lurgi up, despite all the recommended precautions that I could take. Talk about playing Russian (Chinese!) Roulette! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Some fairly ingenious solutions in local small shops. One of them has installed one of those walk-in freezer curtains across the counter. You can reach through it but it massively reduces air movement.
Filling station shops are regeretting taking their night-pay windows out. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
