Yeah - I expect that in time the supermarkets will catch up with supplying their outlets - I've got a Sainsbury's local just across the street from me - and I'm thinking about doing a recce' over there - just to see what's up - not like I need anything really at the mo -

If its mobbed - I won't bother -

You would of thought so by now Hubble.Tried to go to local Tesco's this morning but didn't get that far before could see the queue of traffic trying to get in there and turned back.
Hopefully can get in there tomorrow when the pensioners and at risk group/disabled get an hr

Same thing over here.

I was talking to the owner of a local grocery store. He said they've had record sales for three weeks and knows eventually they're going to have record low sales soon. Expect big sales through the summer.

Just picked up a nice bottle of whiskey from tesco, mile long shelves stocked to the brim with alcohol. No shortage in that department, however pasta shells are a no no..

Macdonalds are closing completely today. So the next litter you see, might be something else.

They have to take control of the shopping situation. There should be clubcard allocations to monitor who is taking the piss. That's not the plan though. They are addressing social distancing though. Prepare to be herded

Tomorrows death toll will tell us a lot. Saturdays was 56 and Sundays was 48, I hope for a downward trend and not following the curve of Italy.


Many people are not taking this seriously, with the attitude of oh I'm young with no underlying conditions so this won't affect me.



Good luck to everyone, hopefully we can get some good discussion on the forums during lockdown.

My mum is currently stuck in Israel,, I told her last night to rent a house for 3 months till the curve is down to figures seen a while ago,, no chance I'm letting her come back through an airport while the curve is increasing in velocity,, she has copd and has had breathing issues for ages,, she really wants to come back but I've said no,, told her to stay with her sister in elat,, literally nothing in relation to figures in the south of Israel

- Conjures up the old saying ' an army marches on its stomach'. - which attests to the importance of forces being well-provisioned, has been attributed to both Napoleon and Frederick the Great - no wonder they get deployed at McD's -

What’s everyone doing with their time off?

I’m doing shots of black label and watching Blade Runner in 4K :)

Anyone here got 4K yet?

Local supermarkets on the up since yesterday but getting hold of bog rolls or anything antibacterial is all but impossible.

Managed to get some pasta and rice today, couldn’t believe my eyes.

Went to local super drug store. Asked if they had antibacterial hand wash. He said 600 bottles sold out when shop opened up.
