Why fruit and veg? how much can you store before it rots? I can just imagine these morons with rooms full of the stuff that they'll end up binning.

[ummmm]

Depends how many people you're feeding.

All of a sudden people know how to cook... You know you can still order a pizza?

Think most Brits are using this virus as an excuse to Panick buy food etc. But they are really stocking up in case Brexit is ever Finalised.

A supermarket worker made me laugh yesterday. I was looking for a bag of flour - "not one to be had", the lady told me - and added, ''the hoarders probably don't know what to do with it now they've got it!"

I suspect she could be right.

gully, we left the EUSSR on 31st Jan.

48 hours over 4 days very common .

It really needs supermarkets to enforce some strict rules now because you can't leave everything to the government. For one, these sort of front line NHS workers should be able to register with the supermarket delivery as a priority.

// 48 hours over 4 days very common \\ Yes, my daughter does that regularly and doesn't work for the NHS but is looking after abused children. She was furious last night as she finished a 48 hour shift and couldn't get any tonic to go in her gin!!

[anneasquith]

The government should be deploying the police/army to control supermarkets. I wonder how many of them have shopped in Aldi recently .

[ichkeria]

Of course we didn’t really “leave” the EU on Jan 31.
And just as well perhaps -

11.09 ,No we did not . there is still time to stay . Not final until, January 1st 2021 . Coronavirus could very well scupper Brexit for good. GOOD!

"You know you can still order a pizza?"
papa john sent me an email telling me the measures they were putting in place so that i could be sure that no one had touched my pizza after it comes out of the oven and before it gets to me. I never realised before that people might want to touch my pizza before it got to me!

[ichkeria]

Unfortunately gulliver I fear you are wrong.
I should have added the word “yet” to my post

The default scenario is now to leave regardless. Tho hopefully that might be delayed now

[ichkeria]

How do they cope with no one touching it before that?

[bednobs]

they dont - they aid no one touching it after it comes out of the oven

I'm not that bothered about people unable to buy flour (I'm one of them, but I'll survive). I would have thought the government ought to be able to commandeer supplies for key shift workers like this nurse, though, feeding them in staff canteens and providing supplies to take away for their families.

Just opened last pack of toilet rolls.
After these, it's Brillo pads :-)

"Think most Brits are using this virus as an excuse to Panick buy food etc."

No one needs an excuse, dooms day preppers are ready just in case of anything

[jno]

Bednobs, I'd guess that they may occasionally poke it with a fingertip when trying to put it in the box to deliver to you; and now they've been told not to.

And what if this 'nurse' has just decided to do a selfie video (cos that's what it is) to see how many likes she can get on FB? Maybe someone can whisper in her ear most chain food restaurants are open 24/7 and do salads...…………..
