Are you moving to Merthyr Batch?  I did a project in Merthyr a couple of years back, I was unable to directly engage with my client due to him being inside! |

Not a dig at you at all, but another case of how the media plays the biggest role in this. People only panic buy becuase they're told people are panic buying. |

Go back before the mid 90's when social media didn't exist we wouldn't have had as much panic buying |

There was panic buying in the 70s, during the OPEC crisis and during strikes. The Americans had the "great toilet roll shortage of 1973". So yes we would. |

No doubts there was panic buying in the 70's but the scare mongering wouldn't have been on the scale it is today but I get the point you are making. Also the government should be nipping this in the bud now and not leaving all the responsibility with the supermarkets before it spreads like wildfire https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8768785/Morrisons-supermarket-limit-number-items-customers-buy.htmlAsda today |

I have never really felt the cold and would happily not have the heating on in the house until it reaches zero degrees C. The wife though likes it at about 24 degrees inside all year round.
I never wear a coat unless there is snow or frost on the ground or its raining, never feel the need to, probably my viking heritage.
