Being the northern suburbs of adelaide, fair chance he probably was robbed anyway

Would be nice to hear someone put a match to his TP supply

Surely people aren't that stupid that they are paying inflated prices for toilet paper?

Plenty of cheaper alternative options out there.

Already done it for our equivalent 'Trade Me' here in NZ, for TP and hand sanitiser.

I really don't get the stupidity of all this.
All the big stores are restocking at night here and people keep running at them first thing in the morning ?

Just came back from the local butcher with 2 scotch fillet steaks for tonight. The butchers and vege stores here are selling their normal amount of goods as normal.
Both of us being Keto, most of the food we eat comes from the butcher or veg store, the local farm supplies plenty of eggs.
There are millions of tomatoes grown locally and yet shoppers are hoarding.
Even the local AMPCO servo has plenty of sandwiches and breaky stuff.

People really are mad.

Not quite sure what your problem is as this forum is the Bar and as it says on the box "The Bar, for non Automotive related chat"

Oh, and perhaps you should cut back on the red cordial as well

Shop as you normally would. Why change? If your neighbors all went and bought new cars, would you go buy a new car too?

There are no supply issues. Only sheep.

#1 Not kidding.

#2 Probably older than you.

#3 Where I'm from is under my name, but that may be a bit tricky for you to find.



Now, if we could get back on the topic please.
