Waitrose in SW London this lunch. None of the "normal" corona panic buys avaliable but also loads of fruit and veg out. Bread and milk virtually gone. Loads of isles empty shelves of many products.

Certainly in this area panic buying and supermarket supply getting worse

Just outside M25 ring. Most shops here well-stocked, apart from loo roll and pasta and, of course, hand gel.

People are posting photos of our local supermarkets on facebook, queues going down the length of the shop - like old fashioned Christmas shopping before internet deliveries were invented!

Hasn't been that bad til now.

People just have to get two weeks worth in in case.
Supermarkets didn't have much time to plan it really. I think it'll be ok mid week. FWIW I'm not going to any shops this weekend.
