I am rural and a bit up the street from me I have a policeman neighbour that moved in about a year and a half ago. I can see the end of his driveway from a window and noticed about two weeks ago he got a delivery of two freezers, I took note. He obviously was getting ready for what he was told was/is coming.

Lots of generators in my area.......for years. There was a power failure many years back that lasted about 10 days, luckily it was in the summer.

How about this for an idea? Supermarkets get rid of (chain up) their large shopping trolleys and allow shopping with the smaller hand baskets only. Wouldn't completely stop panic buying but would limit the volume people could buy in one go. I've emailed my MP to suggest he puts this to the CEOs of the big supermarkets. |

I can see an issue there, the kind of people your trying to restrict will just go around again and again until their boot is full, and even worse it means they will be spending more time in the supermarket. You have to realise we are dealing with complete morons. Regards David Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me...... Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again...... |

Pretty draconian, allocate your driver's licence or ID card to 1 supermarket, 1 pharmacy etc for purchasing! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

The UK wimped out on ID cards due to the fear the "Civil Liberties" moaners would vote for a different political party.

Just seen a couple using a wheelbarrow to get there shopping home. Been into asda and they have lot of stock back in including paracetamol and people shopping normally. Common sense isn't very common. _______________________________ 2007 Land Rover Freelander2 I6 hse Auto |

Lot of great ideas out there, such as don't panic buy, but as BoxBrownie said there's always that element of morons who don't give a and two-finger everyone else. |
