I’ve bought 6 tins of pellets and ammo for slingshot gone over kill because I don’t hit owt will stick to road kill

[foxdropper 17,092]

Wife tried to do a shop last night in Sainsbury’s and all the meat gone ,frozen and fresh .Freezers cleaned out and most of the tins gone .They say the yanks are buying up ammo like crazy in case of looting so might be time to max the holding requirement on your ticket .

Dosnt seem real but I’ve a feeling it’s only just getting started .

I'm hearing similar round here lads already being laid of jobs with cancellation coming in I agree buddy it's going from what looked like a good year work wise to being a rough long haul I know the gov are offering this and that but it's how long it takes for it to reach theses lads because a lot live hand to mouth so to speak and this will hit hard on not just there living standards  but relationships  and everything else and then there's the impact on business owners I know a good few that will go to the wall

I agree private work is going to take a big hit im lucky I have some school jobs to do that im told won't be getting cancelled regardless and a few for a builder who's got everything on site well his new home actually who said the same he needs it doing should I say and plenty of private as well provided they don't cancel hopefully be able to keep going and help a few out even if it's just days here and there but I know one cnut I hope it bites and screws him to the floor wanker and I don't normally wish ill on any man

I'm pricing a job this afternoon, meeting scaffolders on site, plus got to order skips ect. Quote got to be in by tonight with a view to starting on Tuesday as its a rush job. I'm going to tell them I'll do it but only if they pay on day of completion....no chance I'm paying out all the expenses to wait months to get paid myself. Mind you if it comes off it will take the pressure off for a month or two.....

We need to carry a form whenever we leave the house to explain where we are going and why. Only certain travel is allowed. Today I ventured out to the supermarket and only passed one other car in 12km. The supermarket car park was the quietest I have seen it and there was almost nobody else in the shop. Most of the shelves were full with just one or two exceptions; no potatoes and some brands of certain items were missing but there were others to choose from. Same in nearby Lidl. Almost no other shoppers and business as usual. Got the week's shopping without any problem. The Gendarmes had a road block to check vehicles on the town side of the roundabout but I was able to get to the shops and back without being stopped.
