United Kingdom V: Son of a beach

That was the speculation on the radio, that the government knows NHS staff will aim to be off for 2 weeks over Xmas

Very clever since all Annual Leave is banned over the Christmas Period and Ward Staff have to work 2 of the main shifts; Which are Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. If only we could have 2 weeks off for Christmas.

My typo, meant Easter instead of Xmas

Great just in time for April when most Staff get their brand new Annual Leave entitlement for the year and loads to look to take Easter off to be with the kids. What Planning

One thing I didn't look at when I popped into Tesco Metro was the tea section.

I've got plenty of bags left at the mo but never thought to look. Nobody seems to be talking about teabag shortages.

Anyone noticed any other unusual shortages? I'm curious to see what's actually being prioritised by folk in this current phase of public paranoia.

It'll be summat really weird. Like Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puds or Reese's Pieces.

Any BD newsagents notice anyone bulk-buying top-shelf jazz-mags out there???

Coffees beginning to run low.
Beans and Durex will go next

Got given a Tassimo at Chrimbo. Still haven't used it, am replete with pods.

I've been unable to get microwave corn dogs, but I think they were discontinued in about 1996.

The stockpiling thing is sad. People are so selfish. You properly see how we are all hairless apes at a time like this.

The press aren't helping. They are doing their very best to whip everyone into an absolute frenzy.

I hadn’t really noticed the stockpiling to be honest. I’ve still been able to get all the lobster, caviar and Châteauneuf-du-Pape that I usually buy. As long as the essentials are readily available no need to panic.

Was driving behind a white van earlier, a dirty one, and finger-scrawled in the dirt on the back someone had written: "No toilet rolls are stored in this van overnight." Gave me a right chuckle, did that.

I went to sainsburys and looked for paracetamol. It was wall to wall old people down there raiding everything. One lady got about 12 bottles of mouthwash. I **** you not. It was madness.

Don't be so quick to mock the stockpiling - as I'm sure JazzFunk will attest to as he works in a hospital, it has been shown that NHS healthcare professionals are 47% more likely to treat you if your breath is deliciously minty fresh and you have a sparkling clean butt.

What if you have loo roll in your teeth and a minty crack?
