Big Col Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 over 4 days since we've had any snow fall and folk are still panic buying bread and milk. Visited my local co-op there, empty shelves. What's wrong with folk? I'm guessing if I try to buy fuel that will be in short supply too? Folk driving about buying up all the milk?

I went shopping last Tuesday going again tomorrow. No hassle whatsoever. It's baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Morrisons yesterday afternoon. In 8 years of going there i have seen nothing like it. Not a thing left . I had actually planned on cooking a proper meal for a change and needed plain flour for a sauce. No flour. Even the wholemeal was gone. I asked if they had some in the back .The guy said ‘ no, its all gone, people are baking their own bread ‘ . wtf ??? I went home and ordered a chinese.
