Yes, although I'm a bit puzzled as to how he could have found and carried so many and why he wasn't stopped or subject to the purchase restrictions

[gness]

What a lovely lad, Tilly. We have no panic buying here yet. Were looking at apartments for sale in the village. One photo of a bathroom showed a cistern with the highest tower of toilet rolls you could imagine. If things get as bad as the UK we may buy the apartment........... ;-)

[jno]

aha, he'd be one of those vicious selfish brain-dead hoarding shoppers I read so much about?

[Old_Geezer]

His local shop had toilet rolls ?!?!?!?!?!

[Spicerack]

Stupid boy.

[royfromaus]

Why have they made him sit in the plastic box?


I think he's had more than a little encouragement from his mother.

[THECORBYLOON]

Why can folk not just accept that some wee ones think about others, rather than believe an adult has put them up to it?

[royfromaus]

I know they do Corby. There's no paperboy around here so my son is delivering newspapers to the local pensioners. (my idea)

[gness]

God knows, Corby.....but then again....where you live is, in my experience, one of the most generous and thoughtful towns...x

[Mamyalynne]

Bless you Jimmy-Dean.

[pastafreak]

What a lovely boy...and a generous thing to do.

[woofgang]

what a sweetie

[bednobs]

if he hadnt gone out and bought so many, there'd be some for the people he's now giving them to!

[gness]

If they could get out to buy them, Bednobs.

[Boto]

How much pocket money does he get? Well done to him though.

[Cloverjo]

Good lad!

[gness]

Just supposing it was the idea of a parent and they slipped him a bit extra pocket money to buy them. Would that matter? Isn't it a good way to bring up a child to consider others?

[THECORBYLOON]

GNESS, thanks for that. I seen a man in Tesco the other night with eight bottles of cola in his trolley and the staff had to remove some. For some reason he thought that with it being late in the day it was all right.

Had he been a pensioner with one or two more messages than he should have had, I'd have taken them and paid for them so he could have them.

Welcome, Corby..... when I was involved in a charity in Kettering we used to have a yearly rattle the tin collection in Kettering and Corby. There was always a battle to collect in Corby. The folk were not only incredibly generous but so friendly and chatty....x
