Loo roll shortages/panic buying

SallyB392 sorry to hear you have that medical condition hope it is not painful having no bowel movement for 7-10 days like you say a blessing at the moment for usage of loo rolls.

Ohmother : Sorry to hear you are on medication as well. Without being rude to you about the Metformin you take I think they must be putting some into the dry dog food I give the pets as they are uncontrollable with their farts and could clear a room in no time.

The hoarding disgusts me. The sheep mentality and me, me, me attitude is appalling. I have even read posts on this forum of GN’s stocking up way beyond their needs. I have just been to a huge Asda and there were no toilets rolls at all, no pasta and hand sanitizer. Dettol wipes and similar were very sparse and there was very little bleach. When I asked an assistant if they were going to ration she said yes, you could only buy two packs of 24 toilet rolls! Why allow people to take 48 toilet rolls? It really is madness and, personally, I believe the supermarkets are encouraging it. I know for a fact prices on certain items have increased.

3nanny6. For your dogs may I recommend charcoal that you buy ( we got ours from the local equestrian suppliers) in a tub and sprinkle about a teaspoonful on each meal. It works for our two labs and they were horrendous!

Here it is. I hope I’m OK to post it on here.

Absolutely no sign of panic buying in France today- only thig missing was hand gel. Tried to get Aloe Vera gel and tea tree oil to make my own- sold out too.

I've always fed my dogs a grain and soya free diet to avoid the wind problem. Put a small bowl upside down in a bigger bowl, then their food in the narrow outer part - to stop them eating too quickly.

@SueDonim What if your unwanted 50 Shades is the Kindle edition?

Kellense. That’s what I’d call a panty (!)pad! ?

I'm also on metformin. Can use a lot of loo roll!!

Two rolls of toilet paper walked into a bar.
...one ran out.

A lot of people will prefer luxury toilet paper over cheaper brands;
But on the whole they're no different.

I was walking through a supermarket when a tower of toilet paper fell on me
I'm worried I have soft tissue damage.

We were very impressed with the toilets in Turkey when we visited, so when we re did our bathroom we asked for something similar. We could not get the Turkish system, but did instal the ‘bum gun’ way. It is good and cuts down the amount of paper which, on occasion, may prove necessary. It is also useful when cleaning the loo after someone (no names mentioned) has used it and not removed the residue themselves! I think visiting other countries can educate us. For example when in the Caribbean I was reminded of the fact that water can be in short supply and their systems unreliable, so disposal of paper was in a separate container.

We are blessed in the UK with our safe water and reliable plumbing and should not take it for granted. (Lecture over!)

Kellensc! .

I’ve remembered that the copy I read was borrowed from a friend so I don’t even have that to fall back on. But it’s ok, I’ve saved the wrapping paper from dd’s birthday presents yesterday.

I’ve put my work contract aside. ??

curvygran950 just read your post.....I'm crying here. Did you see jura that the Government here have agreed that Pharmacies may now make up their own hand gel and sell it - at strictly fixed prices ?

Anyone panic buying loo roll is advertising how badly their household is run. I always have several rolls of loo paper beside each loo.

I did however by one extra pack of kitchen towel. It has many uses; hankies, wipes and soft loo paper.
