The craziness is here in Spain now too, there's talk off all shops and businesses having to close down in the next couple of weeks so the panic has started, although Spanish panic is ever so slightly more casual than British panic

[I should add, before you all panic buy Edam, it was later disclosed that 'someone had put in in the wrong place in the storage fridge out the back'. The cheese counter person (aka lady) came round the shop to find me and tell me, so I did get some Edam]

Went to 4 shops before I could get any loo rolls at all. To be fair, I currently have about 2 weeks supply so wouldn’t normally have bothered.
Not much dried pasta, hardly any frozen veg.

I got 8 rolls this morning by getting to Asda just after it opened and the overnight shelf packing had been done. That left 4, plus some shea butter ones and Asda Smart Price.

I picked up a pack of 9 rolls this morning. Then put it back down as dont need any. There wasnt much left though. We have 3 toilets at home, each with 3 rolls in each (always have them that stocked) with a pack of 18 in the garage. That's our standard amount and we had bought them before the stock piling.
My issue is that I cant get any pasta. And even worse, they were sold out of bourbons at asda. Did manage to get some from morrisons today though, but they had low stock as well.

No loo rolls in Dartford
** Important Race Information **
Dear Runner,
We hope you are looking forward to the Dartford Half Marathon taking place this weekend.
These are obviously difficult times for everybody and, like most of the country, we remain concerned for friends, families, staff, volunteers and participants.
We know how much our sport means to the running family and, who knows, in times like these, it may even help us all through some of the gloom and doom. However, we do need to balance our love for the sport with the need to be sensible and heed advice. So, whilst, your race this weekend will go ahead as planned, we do need you to consider the following advice.
Impact on the race
Please note that there is a shortage of loo rolls in the Dartford area!! And despite the best efforts of the club, at this moment in time, the club toilets are without toilet rolls. We will be doing whatever we can to assist the club in securing additional supplies – but it would be helpful if you could bring some loo roll with you.
In addition to toilet rolls, hand sanitisers and even water are being rationed or are unavailable. So, it would help you - and us - if you could bring your own sanitisers if you have them.

I just popped to get some cash, and went to Asda to see whether I'd been wise to get loo roll first thing. Indeed I was. Zero loo roll of any sort, and zero pasta (I checked).

Greg, Asda seems to be particularly struggling whereas morrisons has had some of everything every time I've gone in. (Other than hand sanitizer which I'm still searching for)
