Hi
let's face it..the economy is on the verge of collapse worldwide
despite the strongest measure taken EVER by the FED yesterday which should have sent the market soaring, the 3 main markets in europe are deep in the red
We will seee how Wall Street will react but this is bad...
the administrators should have sold despite a cut before the crisis hit, one that can potentially make the 2008 crisis look like a walk in the park..
now we are all screwed and whatever is left will go to those administrator and Lendy..we will get nothing and the excuse will be..well we could not sell, there was a coronavirus..
well done

Getting pretty silly near me. I have been in to two shops four days on the trott to buy loo roll but they are always sold out, regardless of the time of day, how early I get there etc. I have two left, then I'm going to go to McDonalds, buy a burger and take whatever they have in their customer toilets. Absolutely ridiculous situation to be in. I see people on ebay profiteering by selling them at ridiculous prices, and people are buying them.
The economy collapsing is one thing, but no toilet roll is apocalyptic. We may end up seeing some financial institutions fold as companies default on business loans, and people can't pay their mortgage. Good old fractional reserve banking might bite us in the backside again, we'll soon see how well they have been segregating retail banking.

Don't realy understand the rush for bog rolls, given there would appear to be plenty of alternatives.
While the back page of the Daily Mirror might be a last resort, I would have thought that kitchen roll or tissues (both of which appear to be in plentiful supply) would be more than acceptable in a crisis. Also, where have all the eggs gone?

Certainly NOT kitchen roll, or anything even remotely similar, and I suspect that includes tissues too. They're too "fibrous" and don't disintegrate enough and contribute heavily to the fatbergs. It's toilet paper or nothing. [PS / EDIT: ....... besides human waste, that goes down the loo. ]

Nothing? Just a bare hand?
I knew that in some cultures it is customary to eat with a certain hand because the other is for cleaning your bum, but I didn't know it was so literal ...

This doesn't stop people making multiple trips. Nor does it allow for the extra wiping requirements of people with certain digestive troubles.
The only solution is for customers to be permitted to buy loo roll only if they can demonstrate genuine actual usage by receiving it in exchange for returning an equivalent quantity of used loo roll. Given the shortages, there would have to be checks that each returned sheet has been used sufficiently.
I know I've been getting higher mpg out of my bog roll recently.
