My chest freezer packed up a couple of weeks ago, superb timing. Wasnt in a position to replace it, now I am there arent any  All the average size ones sold out everywhere, that's where all the stockpiling is going. At least someone is making some money. Tesco's are doing an NHS only hour tomorrow at 9 before store opens, need NHS ID, depends if they have anyone on the door checking or the usual free for all. |

I did a shift in food retail this morning, I've not done one for years but was helping out a mate. I walked there and back to avoid public transport.
The walk back was terrifying. There are so, so many people outside. I get it's quite a nice day but people seem to think being outside is a magic immunity - there are large groups, people stopping to chat, playing games all sorts. I know some will be getting essentials from the shops and some are exercising alone and I'm not castigating everyone, but it's terrifying how blase people seem to be about this.

Haven't been shopping since Weds so may be out of date but it wasn't too bad here in Reading, certainly compared to experiences of others. Number of empty or near empty shelves with no toilet rolls/medicine/eggs/flour etc. but still plenty of food if you were happy to adjust your diet to what is available. Nothing like the "stripped bare" experiences elsewhere.
Think it will take a while before it dies down. Supermarkets starting to reduce their product range will help.
Got to wonder how much of the hoarded food will never get used.
Just got back from my local Morrisons (Clacton-On-Sea) and had pretty much the same experience. It's important to record the relatively positive experiences as well as the 'horror stories'... |

I went to the big Asda this morning and kid you not was in a queue of 400/500 and it reminded me of previous years queuing up for play off final ticket sales

Good luck. Expect we're all going to be doing this at some point. |

You are very lucky mate, obviously either better supply chain to there than down here in Somerset or you have less panic buying idiots. |

Does the ban on pubs also apply to places of worship?
