In my local store of Asda, there are members of the public, that are buying up bread, milk and sugar etc in large amounts, has anybody else noticed this.
Yes customers were like a plague of locusts in my local tescos with the milk almost gone if its one thing we do really well in the uk its panic buying,i remember in the 70s there was a sugar beet shortage and people panicked bought the sugar,a few years later there was a wheat shortage and people panicked over bread.

The supermarkets really ought to allow people when it comes to essentials a limit to make sure the greedy do not empty the shelves, leaving everyone else with nothing in 2010 its good to see the "i`m all right jack" attitude alive and well in uk PLC sadly.
