So, Who Were The Panic-Buyers Then?

[10ClarionSt]

Nobody! No-one's dunnit, yer warship. Don't mention any possible candidates or you'll get your armpit kicked! It's like looking for war criminals in post war Germany - they're all there but nobody's done it. Not even sweet, innocent me, aka Goody Two Shoes! It want me wot dunnit yer battleship! Honest. On me mothers eyes. Methinks he doth protest too much. Wot you goin' on about 10CS? Time for some brekky. :o)

[iluvmargie]

It shouldn't I know, but you do make me giggle!

Dont forget to go into the little box and get Friday's medication out ..

They were not all vest wearing fat-necked geezers, that's for sure.

Generally the most entitled to a larger share, in their own opinion, are stylish young things driving German cars and with sunglasses jammed on their head.

I may have made that up, just venting.

[lady-janine]

Me. Me. I was guilty Sir. One week I bought 4 carrots instead of 3 as I wanted to make some soup. (Hangs head in shame.)

Their credit card bills will be up then. Totally unnecessary except that it made it difficult, sometimes impossible, to get basics. Probably the same thoughtless people who are rushing away to holiday spots without a thought for others.

I bet they even bought wonky veg.

[rowanwitch]

I did buy some extra washing powder, stuck in might as well get the curtains down
And sugar free sweets.... Lots of those.....oh yes and two tubes of cheese spread...

[Theland]

TWO tubes?
Disgraceful!

[anneasquith]

I did purchase one extra loaf of bread. The panic buyers left many of us without essentials. Not nice .

[10ClarionSt]

Now it all comes out!! I intend to send the Ration Warden round along with the Self-Isolation Patrol just to make sure that it doesn't happen again. And again. And again. But that's nothing compared to the camp guards marshalling the queues at the local supermarket. They'll sort everyone out! Yeah! You're all gonna gerrit!

I also bought 2 gf loaves when I found them as the panic buyers had bought all the gf bread, flour and pasta, pastry, etc. Put one in the freezer for OH. He only has one a week but yes on that occasion I bought 2.

Had a word with assistant and was told when 'normal' goods had gone panic buyers were buying the free from and just clearing the shelves.

Retro - He runs our local corner shop.

But, as Mum used to say, "Think of all the hungry people in Africa."
(Don't know why she said that, I just didn't like cabbage at the time).

I reckon they were the followers of Thatcher, knowing there's no society so no obligations to it, they were taking the moral high road, looking after themselves and their family, and devil take the hindmost, because it's their own fault. :-)

[Spicerack]

Worra cow.

[Zacs-Master]

Aye.

[marval]

I hold my hand up your honour. I bought two pack of hot cross buns, and four(yes four) packs of lemon tea.

[anneasquith]

Stupid woman , she doesn’t even have the sense to keep quiet about her greed.

There's always an easy target, but usually it's those with money to spare who are prepared to waste it.

[pastafreak]

I still have some loo roll left. Does that mean I'm defined as a greedy panic buyer?
