    They did that because people were clearing out the bread and meat sections by getting 3 of each type.

      I'm going to do a walk past of the supermarkets just now. I've got enough food but if there is no queue I'll get the wife a bottle of plonk.

      I'm swaying to go to the more deprived areas where they probably wash their hands less or to the richer areas where their levels of hygiene are better but probably mix with folk that ski in the alps.

        If you know anything about the inhabitants of London boroughs, stick to the rich areas.

        The sick rich people have space to self-isolate.

          That is true. They probably have lots of food as well to stay home.

                  The Timpsons concession was closed too.

                      That's rather cynical...
