It was two hours for me earlier. I gave up and ordered from Tesco instead.

My food is arriving two weeks on Friday!

Social Separation Conundrum. We live 150m from our local Waitrose. Should we breach self-isolation or ask for deliveries? 🤧

Since there's not much else to do, I've decided to enter the Ocado queue. I am now 10875. It doesn't get much more exciting at the moment.

Can someone on here explain why folk are hoarding loo roll?
Wine, I can understand. At a stretch, pasta. But loo roll??

I'm currently hoarding Ned. A great Kiwi SV.


I am old enough to remember Izal toilet paper. It looked like tracing paper.
When we ran out, we used bits of newspaper.

I've tried using my ipad, (on which my newspaper sits), but it's not the same.

Our Ned stocks are sufficient for now!

As to paper, The Jersey Evening Post is both soft and relatively absorbent, and little significant material of value will be lost in the process.‘

Do you recall Bronco ... “Tearing along the dotted line”.

The UK Government version of Izal had "property of HM Government" printed on each and every piece.

Now that HAL and BA have lots of loo roll that they don't need, would they please deliver it to Sainsburys on the Farnham Road? There has been no loo roll there for days!
