Every time I have been to a shop since this started, they have had shed loads of microwaveable rice packets. Worth adding as a backup.

What is my punishment, do you reckon? I have already had to resign from something for driving 16 miles to drop the shopping off. Now I need a forfeit for shopping for both of our parents for the first time ever. I am a bad man.

People must have finally cottoned on then as there were shed loads a few days ago whilst normal stuff was stripped bare. I did list the weird contradictions I saw the other day - this was one. No pasta but loads of microwaveable pasta. No eggs but loads of pickled eggs. No sliced bread but loads...

Boxes have 16 so can't be 29. And it was definitely 3 of these for £1 for both paracetamol and ibuprofen.

That would appear to be a supermarket voluntary things as Poundland sold 3 for £1 for quite a while.

Have you looked for cold and flu treatments as they are all paracetamol based and none of the shops I looked in recently had run out of those?

If you want to fix a relative's computer without visiting, you can run software called Teamviewer that is free for personal use and allows you to control the computer remotely. This allowed me to install 20 games that appeal to the older generation. A bit like Where's Wally, you are given a list...

Having decided I wasn't going to go shopping any more for a while, I then had to head off a potential argument down the line. I was installing a load of hidden object games for my girlfriend's mum over Teamviewer (Fanatical is the place to go if you have an older relative who might benefit from...

I had to pick up a prescription from Boots in Hailsham yesterday and they were only allowing 2 people in at a time. The queue had automatically enforced social distancing with everyone stood 2 meters apart. It did cause confusion for people, including me, as it didn't really look like a queue so...

I had a little mooch round all 3 of the shops in Hailsham lunchtime (Only got a few bits for my lunch next week as I am stuck at home before anyone starts) and the trends were fascinating. Veg stripped but loads of fruit. Meat stripped apart from Beef in one shop and lamb in another. No eggs...

The problem now is that those in need of supplies will be accused of stockpiling - precisely because they didn't stock pile earlier. Hopefully the limited number of items will take effect to some degree but taking Hailsham as an example, I could go to Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Iceland and...

You would think with everything but hand sanitiser, it would be a zero sum game. But with products like toilet paper and dried pasta, you can get 2 years worth without wasting money. All the time people stockpile, restocking will be difficult. But you would imagine the fresh meat/bread craze...
