OK< then.. FWIW, I was in three yesterday in order to get milk, spuds and bread on my way home between half three and five. First - Sainsbury's. City location, large store, just smaller than the ones that have a clothes/homeware/electricals area. Condition: absolutely raped. No fruit, very little veg*, absolutely no bread of any description. Second - Tesco. Out of town loction, "Extra" store (two floors, cafe, all the clothing/electrical/homeware stuff). Condition: Moscow, 1975. Almost completely stripped. Tinned goods - occasional bashed tins rolling around otherwise bare shelves. No bog roll, kitchen towel, nappies. About half a dozen boxes of various cereals in that isle. Empty freezers, no milk at all (even that UHT shite). NO CHEESE- no fucking cheese of any kind, from plastic singles to deli stuff. BUT plenty of ISB bread products (including some reduced - 2 chocolate croissants for 42p? Go on then) and I snaffled what appeared to be the last bag of Maris Pipers in an otherwise bare produce area, otherwise only populated by "baby" potatoes. Third - Co-Op. Local village, standard small co-op. Obviously carries a more limited stock than the two previously mentioned, but seemed to have plenty of the usual. Short, but not out, of milk. No semi-skimmed, so I had to go for full-fat. That's all I needed, so no idea what the bogroll/pasta situation was. Mission accomplished, and home. An hour after I got home, Mrs WRK arrived with two four-pinters of semi-skimmed, which she'd got at the same co-op. Seems they are replenishing little and often. Good effort on their part, I think. *Peas and sprouts.. Badoom, tish! Is that French for "aisle"? Asking pour un ami.

Bairn Necessities Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Was amazed at how stocked Morrisons in Granton was compare to last night. They seem to be managing their stock smartly. Looks like need to get what you need by 8am to have any chance of bread and the likes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as much as the blitz spirit is massively overhyped it DID EXIST. Community is what will see us thrive this and help us out the other end. People supporting each other. If you want to stick to science alone then good luck finding complete consensus. And just to be clear for those who don't understand nuance I'm not discrediting science. Not even close. I've essentially been self isolated for two months due to chronic illness, and every night i hook up to an iv drip for 12 hours so curfew is already normal for me. I follow the scientific guidance very closely, but even then the medical professionals do not know everything. And they often disagree. The leadership of this country is currently following the best scientific and medical advice they have and we are not on lock down. When we are people will generally obey it (give it take the numpties). There's an immaturity in the thinking that anyone who is outside in a non essential location is a selfish old c**t who doesn't give a f**k about anyone else. It's simplistic and childish. I work in a school and from what i can see people are generally following advice, and getting on with life. Sometimes folk panic and worry but generally with a helpful chat they calm down and we get through it... Together. Your right that Community and togetherness would help us but the post you replied to is also correct - so far as a nation Britain is showing very little of it - we appear to be a nation of I'm all right Jacks who will trample on the women and kids to get to the lifeboats ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking the dogs and playing golf might be the only two sports at the next Commonwealth Games. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
