WA Mar 2020 11:25pm, 21 Mar 2020 6,544 posts	0 WA Coffee pods. We get them delivered and I was a bit worried that we wouldn't be able to get them. I'd love to panic buy loo roll as we are running out, but there isn't any.

Fitz Mar 2020 8:17am, 22 Mar 2020 2,190 posts	0 Fitz We are currently not-quite-panic-buying supermarket delivery slots. Sainsbury delivered yesterday. We have slots booked for the next two weekends from Tesco as nothing available from Sainsbury. Beyond that, nothing available from anywhere.

Dvorak Mar 2020 6:53pm, 22 Mar 2020 19,291 posts	0 Dvorak Pants. No, really, down to about three pairs with sufficient hold, so I reckoned, just in case. Though I suppose in a lockdown you can wear the same pair for a week Bonus of some marked down winter socks - it was cold enough for them when I left the shop! And a Fray Bentos vegetable balti pie in a tin. (I was in a very large Asda. It was not busy at all. I may not have been two metres from persons at all times, but nearly always a metre. Apart from the person who came and stood right next to me and unloaded at the front of the self-scan belt. Get away from me, plague beast! Coming down the travelator (George is on a mezzanine) and looking over the store, Asda Radio was playing Duran Duran's Ordinary World. It was weirdly poignant. "What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive") Blimey, that took a bit of a turn.
