Today Sainsbury's had no paracetamol, hand sanitizer or toilet rolls. The first two I can understand, but...…. is there any reason to suppose there is a greater need than normal for the third?

Please keep any replies within the bounds of decency.

I think its a question of ratios, one person in a crowd sneezes and two hundred s**t themselves.

It could be because some people, like me, may use them as cheaper forms of tissues. I keep a (freshly opened) roll on the desk where the computer is.

I depends on the order and "place" you intend to use paracetamol and sanitizer…*All I can suggest is to read the user's manual, sinon, forcément, c'est la merde!

The shortages of loo rolls is symptomatic of the infantile behaviour of so many of society's so called adults. Their actions, in many ways, mirrors those of children, who when told not to touch something because it is hot, will almost immediately reach out to test just how hot the object is!

This behaviour has repeated itself many times over the years, as is similar to the false rumour that was started many, many moons ago that the Siberian salt miners had gone on strike (I'm sure that at that time they just wished that they had an option to withdraw their forced labour). The ensuing panic, despite all efforts to stop it, caused the supermarket shelves to be stripped bare of all types of salt within hours!

Rather than carry on further down the long and windy off topic road I'll just say that Dynelectron is a fine looking bass, and if a 4005 is good enough for Mani it must be ok.

Fear and the not knowing how long, plus you can never have to much bog roll .

Oddly enough a mate gave me a report from my Metro race at Cadwell in 1992. I won. I remember the bubbly.

They did in my local supermarket.... no puree no Spaghetti sauces and no canned tomatoes. On the night I had thawed a heap of mince to make a sag bol.
As Gerrymo might say... sacré bleu.

But I have more toilet paper that said supermarket. A friend delivered a carton last night. His brother works for a manufacturer!

Now you confirm its the same in your inverted area EB, I'm convinced there's something really serious about toilet paper, our future must be… clean! We must flush our dirty past some ET's are pushing hard to lead the way. Forget Nostradamus, Paco Rabanne and Leonardo da! What to do with this paper in excess is THE good question…
