  1. I managed to get out when the virus first broke, bought 1,500 rolls of bog paper and 150 bottles of hand sanitiser, thought I would be ok but my sister is coming to stay as she lives in a post office with her daughter’s family and it’s not a good environment for protecting her from infection, so I went out today to get some more bog roll and the shelves are empty, bloody idiot hoarders and panic buyers.

  2. ?? My other half texted me the other night, as she was stopping at Tesco and wanted to know what we actually needed. "Just the essentials, love." She came home with two punnets of grapes, some firelighters and a box of hair dye!

  3. I'm a self confessed lure nut. Everything from fly fishing a stream to chucking poppers for GT's. I also indulge in a fair bit of bait and wait fishing, partly as a way of spending more time with my father and partly because my mobility has decreased recently due to a dodgy knee. I spend way more on lure fishing than on bait fishing, even when I'm abroad. One of the biggest issues for my UK lure fishing at the moment is the lack of pike due to poaching. I have gone whole seasons without hooking a pike on the middle Severn despite most of my angling being lure oriented. I now almost exclusively fish small plugs and spinners to target the chub, perch and trout in the fast, shallow water and adjust my tactics to target the perch and zander where the water is deeper and slower - or head to the coast for the bass. I presume you are aware of the US studies looking at the economic value of recreational striper fishing, compared to commercial fishing activities.

  4. I'll be the weirdo. While I like baicasters for lures upto a couple of ounces, I prefer a fixed spool outfit and a 7' rod for anything heavier. Anything longer than 8' makes casting all day a chore.

  5. It sewms people have gone onto a tissue paper diet! The food situation would be as normal if people had sim Ply carried on as normal, infact there would most likely be too much as when your no feeling well you don't exactly feel like eating! The amount of food which is going to be wasted is criminal, although the shops won't be complaining!!

  6. Not been out for 3 weeks (as in shopping in town) been trying to get solpadeine max online to no avail (about the only thing i can take) even my daughter cannot get it and she works in a chemist! Apart from that can last for months its a great excuse to use up the freezer contents! i think when things are back to normal i may rethink repackaging the new stock as the original packaging allows the contents to get freezer burn ,a vacuumed sealed bag would be better! Made a nice loaf out of cotswold crunch today very nice! just wish i had stockpiled butter! Plenty of frozen marge but its not the same

  7. Well Elton, Grapes are good when visiting hospital, Fire lighters are good for pyromaniacs & hair dye is good for changing one's Identity should one not want to be Identified as a "bloody idiot hoarder and panic buyer". "People who viewed these items also purchased a length of rope and a wobbly stool".

  8. Did a big stock up at the end of January/beginning of February. Bog paper, rice, pasta, curry and pasta sauces, beans, tinned meat and fish etc - all the stuff that was predictably going to run short. Just been doing a normal shop since then and rotating the perishables like eggs, fresh onions and carrots. My local supermarkets have pretty much been stripped bare but Asda did well with my weekly shop delivery yesterday - although there were a few absences and silly substitutions.
