Yeah I think it’s safe, just not the nicest.

Only the cheap stuff left in Morrisons. So people are panicking but still have standards...

Loads of everything still at local Tesco, bog rolls, pasta, tinned food etc etc.

Apart from eggs weirdly

Want to scare yourself a bit, try this

Actually, having just watched it, I wouldnt recommend it as a film

Not even the cheap stuff left near me. The pasta / rice isle was atrocious. Like a bomb had gone off.

What’s wrong with people.

Just ordered 10kg premium sushi rice off Amazon.

Once all the basics have run out, I’m not sure I’ll be able to survive on what’s left on the shelves, like organic quinoa and puy lentils...

Eccles:

Must be annoying for all the fetishists being branded as idiots when just going about their normal routine

Seems like an appropriate thread to ask...

Has anyone made their own hand sanitizer?

Annoyingly the large one I have next to mini-H's nappy area is almost out and the current panic has meant even the ones I ordered from Amazon have gone awol.

Was going to try this recipe. Any thoughts?

Zero evidence of panic buying round my way (Brighton/Worthing). This has been bizarre and entertaining reading so far, no idea why behaviour is apparently so different round here

Guessing in Worthing it's mobility issues.

In Brighton folk are already stocked up on alternative remedies to cure.

Worthing is basically Hove Extra these days, but infants are no more mobile than those at the other end of the spectrum I guess

Has anyone made their own hand sanitizer?

Strongly advise against, won’t be as effective as actual hand sanitizer, in fact likely to be worse.

I just made a batch with 2 cups 70% rubbing alcohol 1 cup aloe vera, and it’s aggressive on the skin to say the least

Meths ftw

I was terrified when I saw all the empty shelves but then I remembered I was in the shelf shop.

Lighter fluid and matches.
Perfect sanitizer.

I don't understand why people would want to make their own sanitizer.

Lighter fluid and matches.
Perfect sanitizer

This is also vegans.

Vegans are made of lighter fluid and matches?

Surely it will be if you use ethanol.

How am I supposed to believe we fended off the germans in the war and coped well with rationing when I look around and see our proud nation worrying about bum wiping material?

won’t be as effective as actual hand sanitizer, in fact likely to be worse.

Why?

When we are all dying in our beds, ravaged with fever and with no one to care for us as they are all sick as well, we really won’t care about the want of a bog roll. We will die quietly and alone in our own personal pools of excrement.

TBF it's probably coming on 20yrs since I used to spend time in that part of the world regularly.

That's good to know as I was going to buy 99% stuff.

Hopefully by the end of next week* there should be some back in the super markets.

*my guestimate for running out based on the no of current shits per day.
