Not that much there as most of the 4-packs had gone. Plenty of eggs and flour though so I bought some in case of emergency pancakes being required over the school holidays.

They are limiting tins to 5 - a total of 5 tins regardless of what it is. The couple in front were buying what looked like a normal weekly shop but it included more than 5 tins. They weren’t mean or anything but the lass was obviously feeling the pressure. I wanted bread flour and yeast but there was none. UHT milk was my only real ‘panic’, or as I like to say preparation, item and there was none. If everyone just calmed the fuck down and bought a couple of weeks worth of food we’d probably all be fine.

Everything else we have just kept at normal levels. However I may buy several packs of bourbons at my next opportunity as they seem to be running low everywhere.

Anyway, I’ve had a milkman for 20 years and if he stops delivering then things would be dire indeed. I wonder how much flour will end up unused and thrown out with weevils in? There has been plenty of fresh food in every supermarket I’ve been into, are people expecting their fridges to suddenly stop working or something?
