edit: i ask because Steed and me have to rent the right van to transport all that stuff

Jimbuna · 03-24-20, 03:00 PM

Three 1ltr bottles dark rum
Three 1ltr bottles peppermint cordial
Pack of six kitchen rolls (store limits everything to three apart from kitchen roll and TP)
Three packets of fruit pastilles
Three large bags of Mccain oven chips
Three packets of Kleenex large size tissues
Three bottles Wolf Blass chardonnay
Three packets of wafer thin ham
Three cases Carlsberg
Three cases of Strongbow
Three bags of treats for the hound
Three packs of fish fingers
Three packs of cod fillets
A birthday cake for my daughters birthday on 29th (we will have to tell her a friend went for that because she'd go crazy if she knew I'd been out shopping)

Not sure if I've missed anything but some TP and eggs (we are presently comfortable for both) would have been the cherry on the icing on the cake.

The trick is getting there when it has been put on the shelves. No doubt most of it will be gone by 10pm tonight.

Down here Jim, I'd bet it'd be gone within half an hour !!

As was generally the case here prior to today...hopefully we have turned the corner. Either that or the peasants have run out of money and storage space

You lucky git, here they stopped filling the shelf's they hand them out. Waste of time there grabbed within seconds, few minutes at best!

I am not standing in line for nothing just to go around a empty supermarket full of people and I mean full.

The panic buying is slowly being clamped down on and three items is fair in my opinion.

Gone are the days when you'd see a panic buyer with a trolley full of the same item.

I'm surrounded by so much food I don't know what to eat next

Decisions, decisions

Hey you watch it, I have some northern blood in me, father came from Bolton and still have some relatives in Bolton and Manchester.
