To be fair, some companies seem to have learned from the first lockdown. I was in Tesco on Tuesday (day after full Scottish Lockdown announced) and the lovely woman at the self service checkout was chatting about how she has stopped a man with 4x 24 packs and told him he could only purchase one. He argued one was for his mum, and one was for his sister but no no avail - she only let him have one pack. And thats EXACTLY how it should be, these idiots panic buying need to be told!!

Actually, that is not a very clever idea. If you buy four toilet rolls instead of one, then you only need make a quarter as many trips as before. It helps secure the job of the lovely lady at the checkout, but ultimately costs the customers more in time and money.

Well, my experience while losing over two stone in a little over ten days thanks to the Chinese Plague certainly explained why people had gone out and stripped the shelves ...
And your BMI has benefitted no end. Saves going to a health farm.
Seriously, glad you are still here, and expected you of all people to survive.

It is like turning on a tap.

You don't think that the Kung Flu was invented by Andrex do you? All the bog roll companies must be making telephone numbers out of this  bug.

Bloody madness,there is no reason to expect shortages they are produced here and there's a place not far from me where there are adequate supplies.

We get the industrial sized packs from Bookers, luckily you need a card so the usual crackpots can't get in 😆.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

National problem widely reported.

Plenty in my part of London and Hertfordshire. Maybe we have pinched Cornwall's share?

My order limited me to one pack last week and I read today that Aldi are restricting them.

My wife just got back from the weekly shopping expedition.  The bog roll hoarders have returned. No bog rolls.
