Well, hopefully those that like sport, but can't or won't pay for it, will get a freebie.
It's just been on the BBC news that the government has announced in the last few minutes that emergency laws are to be passed to help contain the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

Re: Coronavirus
This is just getting silly. Glad we keep a well stocked cupboard and freezers. What is it with pasta? Shelves are stripped.

Just suggesting that it's an alternative. I'm lucky I have years worth of soap gifts.

There were some signs about a week and a half ago when we were at our local supermarket as there were several shelves nearly empty then but obviously panic buying of certain items has set in considerably since then..

We have a order coming this week but one expects a email either saying some items are out of stock or there is a rationing of certain items.
