The people in the queues mostly look like they are in their teens and twenties, so why else would they be panic buying cheap clothes in a pandemic when you can't go out?Originally posted by Gibbon View PostYour standards are unacceptably low, get a grip!"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

There's feck all reason to stockpile in the first place, during the first lockdown there would've been no shortages if it wasn't for all the ******* buying tons of crap for no apparent reason. Seems like some Brits just can't grasp the idea that carrying on as normal means supermarkets restock as normal which means shopping is like normal.
Has anyone see this level of imbecile'ism outside of the UK?Comment
