    You're absolutely right Stagger, this is a disgrace and I'm glad I'm not part of it.

    Having panic bought all the Branston pickle from our local Aldi, I'm hoping to be united with the unscrupulous and underhanded individual who panic bought all the cheese. Then together we can track down the cream cracker hoarder.

    I always buy a month's supply of dog food at the beginning of the month. I have to admit that I have topped it up but other than some very nice whisky, I don't think I gave been stock piling.

    MrsS got treated to some bog roll by the local co-op as she's a regular and an essential worker. Nice...

    Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.

    That reminds me Molehill, I forgot to ask you what brand of trail camera do you use to capture the wild animals in and around Rhandirmwyn?
    Visibility good except in Hill Fog

    I am guilty of panic buying. A jobsworth in Sainsbury told me so.

    I tried to buy two L cartons of milk, and two packets of mushroom rice ( needed for a meal for two) which were pretty much all our local Sainsbury had left.

    And Was told by a jobsworth I was only allowed one of each, that people shouldn’t hoard. She proceeded to take one of each out of my basket, despite us being there as a twosome, so could have easily queued as separate customers.

    I can imagine shop assistants are having a hard life, but the officious bitch taking stuff out of baskets seemed to be enjoying her new found authority.

    Needless to say I will take my trade of 30 years standing to somewhere with common sense! That at least let’s you buy enough for a single meal. Sainsbury has lost the plot.
