The irony

[sunfloweryy]

DM headline today that young people are being urged not to go to the supermarkets and make food they have at home last longer.

We don’t bloody have any food at home! Because we were promised we didn’t need to stockpile and that there was plenty.

So all the people who were buying extra were right all along?

@ssd totally agree about pats on the back and being told you're a ‘hero’ ffs. It’s so patronising.

Or even 55 million without the £ sign - it’s the number of people in the U.K.

Over the last month people in the UK have spent £1 billion more on groceries than normal. People have been shopping as if they are about to face Armageddon and will be isolating in a bunker for the next year

Hardly, that's about £50 extra per household, and once you've taken into account that people can't eat out, it's probably not that excessive.

Of course some people will have food in the house that they could eat instead of going out and buying more, but equally, most people will be shopping because they need to.

I think everyone who goes shopping should grab the pile of Daily Mails in the newspaper aisle and put them in the empty loo roll shelves. Best place for it.

@ChoporNot brilliant!
