This Toilet Roll Stockpiling, What the Hell is that all about?

[Johnem]

The Coronavirus will be treatable at some stage, but some people's stupidity is surely terminal.

At 82 years old, male, chronic asthma, stage 4 COPD and stage 3 Heart Failure, I reckon I tick all of the boxes and I'm now shopping on line, but I see that is also becoming a victim of panicking people and it's at least 5 - 6 days to get a delivery slot. I don't know what people were doing before they seem to have discovered loo rolls, I imagine that when the morons stockpiling them realise they don't require hundreds of rolls, they will cause a shortage of laxatives trying to use their stock up. I thought that a toilet brush might do the trick, but it isn't as good as Andrex and the bristles are awfully sharp. I suppose that there is always the Daily Mail, after all, that's all it's really useful for. At least Boris has said we are allowed to go for a walk, so my 35 minute 600 yard walk through the mud and puddles with my trusty tri rollater out in the sticks is still ok...but I would still do it even if he said no, he can get stuffed.

Best wishes all, take the best possible care and try your best to stay safe.

John.

You take care and stay safe too John. I find it incredulous that despite people on tv and online imploring people not to panic buy......they still are! Every man for himself. Sad indictment of how things are today.

Good luck with your online shopping. Xxxx

All the football matches have stopped, so they can't throw them there. Just thought.....are they using them for doing paper maché, whist in self isolation, to prevent boredom?

For paper maché read Mobile phone or X box

Re daily mail . You must be younger than me, have just checked and you are not, so didnt your family use newspaper. Or have you forgotten. When i was a child always used newspaper . Cut it up into squares into a wad with string through the corner to hang it up. Children were always put to cutting it up. . Then later after the war it was izal in a box . Horrible stuff.

Yes, all that and tissue paper, don't fancy it all again though.

I wonder how many rogues are buying up to make profit, as with hand sanitizer
