Talking of Screwfix...try to buy some dust masks...
The first page says any order over 5 units will be reduced to 5 at checkout...
then no matter which item you click on, they are out of stock.
Now, this isn't just panic buying due to coronavirus, it's actually a direct result of Just In Time buying, so they have no stock...so much comes from China, and they aren't sending stuff right now.
Some well known global companies are runnng into millions of pounds of penalties a day because they can't deliver on contracts...
Thus, beware of panic. Prepare a shopping list.
The shelves could be emptied soon.
My list reads:

Gin
Loo rolls
Gin
Wine
Loo rolls
Tinned foods
Rice
Pasta
UHT milk
Gin
Loo rolls
Smoking requisites
Hygiene products appropriate to your situation
Nappies (not for me!)
Wagos (oh come on! You know you'll need them!)
Wine
More wine
Toothpaste
Shower gel
Water, lots of bottled water, gallons of it

please feel free to add your own ideas!
 
You forgot more gin at the end but other than that I totally agree!
My oh has already been preparing for the end of the world so we are fully set for a piddley virus that's so far only killed a handful of the 8ish Billion people out there! + most face masks wouldn't stop a virus for God's sake it's far too small to let a silly mask stop it infecting you if it wants!
Edit:
My local branch said people were coming in to buy them to send to people in China!o_O
 
Status symbol , -fashon statement -Wealth ?

I care about others statement ..
Science is broken (lost on some )
..If you sneeze wearing one does it Aerosolize
(beyond suggested 3 ft exclusion zone !)

...Plenty wore them before --in cities for Pollution worries....
 
Might be missing something but Screwfix seem to be selling massive meter tails....? Was this in amendment 1? ?

What does the rest of the advert read?

“To change your consumer unit....... you will need”?

we have to compete with things like this.

Today’s jobs include changing a gas boiler.... cos it’s only a bit of copper pipe innit?

Can you still get money back on a bottle of Corona Virus? Must admit Corona Cherry Aid was my favourite. :eek:
 
Might take a trip to my local SF ,to see if they have twigged yet, for a laugh you understand.
 
Next door neighbours friend of a friend of a mate down the pub said Viruses can travel across the Internet, that's me shutting down till it's all over.
Currently looking for a mask for the P.C
I thought you normally put filters on the internet? ?
