• Popped out in Brixton to stock up, and whilst Tesco had fuck all on the shelves, queues the length of the aisles and twats who can't park, a stroll to Electric Avenue was revealing. All the market stalls and shops are fully stocked - loads of fresh fruit, veg, fish and meat, 2kg bags of basmati rice, bars of soap, trays of eggs and a refreshing lack of panic all round.

  • Yes, there were quite a few people buying in my local cornershop two nights ago, but the only shortage I could see was that (for the first time I can remember in more than twenty years of shopping there) they'd run out of spaghetti, and other kinds of pasta were nearly gone. Everything else seemed as if it was going to last for some time to come, although a family was buying about ten of those large (10l?) water containers.
