How about 'corona' lager - apparently no one wants it ;-)

Our pressure was low earlier in the week, I think Anglia Water had turned it down due to everyone needing extra.

DH has resorted to my GF beer! I don't often drink alcohol. It doesn't make me feel good. He did find a couple of bottles in the co-op while I was queuing at the pharmacy. Both going for our meds? He never drinks a lot, just one small beer each evening, but he seems to find not having that difficult. I'm quietly thinking this shortage might be a good thing for him. On a more serious note, anyone had difficulty getting asthma meds? Inhalers are ok, but it's the tablets that I have to take alongside.

I think it's due to stock piling though how prescription meds can be stock piled I can't understand.

Have you done a google to the company and asked directly Ju Ju?

Our doctors are not allowing patients to put in repeat prescriptions in earlier than normal and no doubling up either - very sensible

Went to 3 supermarkets today.  Queues outside at all of them. Didn't wait.  Will try M&S during the week.

That's a bit organised Ju Ju  ;D.  Does that lessen the length of queuing? 

No one needs to panic until the workers can't be found to pick the fruit and veg next month  :o ........ if anyone is bored log on to your local farm, movement to work will be seen as essential.  This is happening across Europe as tomotoes etc. begin to ripen on the vines.
