On the way home from swmbos hospital appointment today (on quite roads) we called into four different supermarkets to try and get some basic non perishables.
The shelves looked like they had been stripped bare by locusts overnight, and they were all limiting the purchase of any items to a maximum of two.

 Allegedly, if you've got a current hgv,-cpc  the supermarkets are looking for extra drivers...  As a side order, were still delivering loads of flowers to supermarkets,  so at least the empty shelves look pretty.

I just went and looked at some empty shelves in Tesco's and I'm wondering if people are now wiping their arse's with sliced bread?       

And here's Tigger's thought for the day:

When you get into the supermarket early for a loaf of bread and there's a crowd of people stripping the shelves and you can't get near, just cough loudly and watch them scatter!

Can you sit all five days simultaneously? Mine lapsed six months ago as I don't need it to fix planes...

They should suspend the CPC bollix and make it much simpler for people to resurrect their lapsed HGV licences including free medicals for vintage ex-lorryists.

I just had a thought that if we get locked down for months and everything is shut, where are we going to get a haircut?   

It's trivial I know, but what to do?     

Not bother? and end up looking like a hippy or the wild man of Borneo?    Or go DIY? 

I've got a beard trimmer but it's round the back which will be tricky.   So I was thinking either a crusty style mo-hawk or a mullet! 

And those of you who will get your other half to do it, beware of long standing grudges!   

A valid point.  I went to a hairdresser* the other day, before I walked in, I could hear the bird who was cutting hair coughing and spluttering, so I didn't go in.  So I'm now considering the pudding bowl look, or full on skinhead, both DIY-able.


*Have to use a hairdresser, as my barber - a mad Italian with health issues - went AWOL just after xmas, leaving few other options in these parts.

DIY perm is doable assuming you have flour, bleach, gelatine, hydrochloric acid, urea  and fixing agent available. There will be plenty of U tube videos pretty soon. After four months without haircuts it might be only thing left other than Grizzly Adams look

Michel Barnier has got it. I probably shouldn't comment any further.

Couple of things....
Firstly the Army are getting ready to mobilise. I suspect this is the first signs that London will be locked down with the army acting as peace keepers.

Secondly, an interesting letter from someone with knowledge and sense (obviously doesn't work for the government).

I expect the Army will be doing some of the work of emergency services and other critical workers to cover shortages or allow those workers to be involved in other even more critical things that they are able to do.

Been to Asda as usual this morning. Got some frozen peas, ready salted crisps (no C+O) and a packet of peanuts. Apart from cakes, which I have, that was about all that was on offer. Hey ho.

[Doctor Gollum]

Bought two packs of tissues... just in case and two tubes of Pringles... because they're on offer and I could

I would have bought some kitchen roll to eat, but they had no baking parchment so I didn't bother

Might go to Waitrose first thing in order to get some decent bog roll and a nice pudding for Sunday
