Blimey.
Mind you, to put it delicately, I suppose men don't use as much as women.

It's not panic buying though. It's called that in order to create the impression that it's an unnecessary thing to do, a panic response. The reality is that stockpiling at this time and under these circumstances is a very sensible thing to do.

From a retail point of view delay of selling stock until shortages on shelves later justify price increases and is sound business practice.

Ah, but the male of the species doesn't use it when he wees does he, that's what I meant but was trying to be discreet.

Re: And So it Begins - The Great Toilet Roll Grab!

The supermarkets have plenty of stock and it's just a few "Panic Muppets" stockpiling stuff because the first article about panic-buying in the press makes the dimwits go hysterical.

Still, in the extremely unlikely event we're fighting over the last banana in the UK we can always raid the old fogies who stockpiled tons of stuff.
