Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #46 – March 06, 2020, 05:58:29 pm It's all good now, I got toilet paper today. No more newspaper and old CheatsFC newsletters. The bot bot will be very happy...for now.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #48 – March 06, 2020, 06:19:05 pm The irony is that the 'dills that went troppo' for the toilet paper actually made it so that sane people who would just purchase on a needs basis were left struggling to find some if they hadn't made a recent purchase.They were able to say 'Who is silly now?"...well it's still you, you silly rabid folks!Makes you wonder how things would go in a real apocalyptic situation....seeing this is just the "pre-season"There's also now the stigma many will feel now when they actually get around to making a legitimate purchase.The judgemental glances we'll receive at the checkouts for our 8 rolls of double length Quilton.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #50 – March 06, 2020, 08:30:38 pm The ONLY reason I became accustomed to interstate beers can be traced back to the frequent CUB strikes of the 70s. To this day, I'll still enjoy a Coopers pale ale. So we never really ran out of beer. But this stuff is insane

This was still in place in my boyhood but I'm not sure how people would cope with it now. The black market would thrive of course as it did then. Plenty of opportunity for budding entrepreneurs.
Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #52 – March 07, 2020, 10:10:52 am I’m in Mansfield for the weekend and the dunny roll panic hasn’t struck here; the shelves are full ... and it’s only a two hour drive from Melbourne if you’re desperate 🤪

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #58 – March 07, 2020, 04:56:21 pm Just a positive one...Coles at Wynnum Plaza today.Walked into empty shelves and just as I was about to go to the next aisle out came a trolley of TP.No mad rush. Folks just stood back while the store people unloaded. After they'd finished people helped themselves and just about everyone only took a single packet despite a store limit of 4.Maybe it's calming down a bit.
