    On a more serious note,did anyone see the case of the chemist in Birmingham(JHoots pharmacy) that was selling bottles of Calpol at £19.99?That is something that needs to be addressed and NOW!! There's an Asian bloke runs a hardware store up our shopping centre selling hand Gel for £9.99!!! I hope people remember these racketeers when this is all over and simply refuse to use them ever again.....Shut them down forever!!!

    To be fair Jhoots held their hands up and pretended they didn’t know.

    It was a nationwide thing at Jhoots.

    More thoughts on bog roll.
    Now is the time to accept those free copies of The Sun which we always decline because you wouldn't wipe your arse with it.
    Take as many as you can get your hands on.

    Leeds are doing their bit about bog roll shortage. Fair play to them.

    Yes, they released a statement saying they were unaware individual stores had changed pricing, they will be put back and refunds issued, bla bla bla.

    Nail salons closed, lash salons closed, hair salons closed, tanning salons closed, waxing salons closed...



    It’s about to get ugly out there.

    Hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions, are about to lose their jobs. I don't think finding new people to make unemployed is a particularly bright idea.

    I understand that and in essence I agree with what you're saying, but,there are far more reputable chemists that would fill the void and 're-employ the staff.Companies like this simply can't use this situation as a licence to print money and not be punished.It sets a dangerous precedent in desperate times and if it goes unpunished and swept under the carpet,what's to stop us all being exploited by every shop on the high St?
