Small amount of loo roll on shelves but not loads. Quite a few shelves still empty from yesterday’s rush and I heard staff saying that what is out is what the shop has, nothing in stores to go out. No frozen veg or chips, not a sausage other than that vegan muck. Plenty of meat, cheese, bread, alcohol, milk, butter, yougherts No hand soap, hand steriliser, certain types of nappies, no eggs, no flour. No cat food

I want to say that I agree that the festival should have been called off or held behind closed doors and I say that as a horse racing fan and someone who enjoys Cheltenham every year. But that decision was down to the authorities and they didn’t make it. Whether that will prove to be a huge mistake, only time will tell but some of the abuse that’s going on here isn’t helping anyone I don’t think. Cheltenham has become the lightening rod for people’s anger, rightly or wrongly but I feel in times of crisis, like the one we are potentially facing with Covid-19, turning in each other and abusing people’s choices isn’t going to get us anywhere. Hopefully people who have attended Cheltenham will follow the guidelines and we’ll be able to contain to the best of our abilities the cases of Covid-19 (if any, it must be said even as unlikely as that may appear to be) that have been contracted.

Surely that's a good thing as I don't have to have contact with anyone for a month now. People saying shops will have plenty of stock are actually condoning multiple trips to shops when one could do. Two sides to every story.

J*sus the place was decimated. Only pears and venison steaks left. Popped into the local Supervalu on the way to work this morning and everything was re-stocked. There was nobody panic buying. The only reason I would stock up is to enable me to avoid the shops over the next while. Will be working from home and having lectures streamed, so if the shopping is in, no need to go near the hysterical crowds in shops Am quite looking forward to the break from interactions :PI really think if people tried hard enough, most houses in the country would have a months supply of food - just need to be a bit creative.[/QUOTE] But why? there is literally no need to do that? Shops are NOT going to run out of stock, maybe 24 hrs max. The only reason people freaked last night was because the Government rightly decided to close down institutions and public amenities; the country as a whole has not shut down. The lights are still going to be on this time next week. :rolleyes:

But regarding a threat over human life? Not such a big deal... really shows you exactly what these guys think about the average punter going to Cheltenham. The only thing they care about, is getting the money out of their pockets at the end of the day! (And the punters are no better btw - putting the rest of the country at risk just for a pointless few horse races!) The only innocent party in all of this, is the horses... let those beautiful creatures back into the country. Quarantine all the other selfish gobsh!tes! Give them a few weeks to chill out and think about their foolishness for a while!

We have so many rescues, I really don't feel bad about importing it. Graces the Felix is on special in Tesco (€10 for 44 pouches) and they still had some last night and also in SuperValu this morning. I know you've a few moggies yourself!
