Regarding panic-buying, this should amuse you all. At the beginning of the epidemic, when the nutters out there were buying toilet paper like crazy and causing a shortage for those caught short, we all know that there were some unscrupulous characters who thought they would make a profit out of this situation.

Well it has back-fired on one such bloke over here. He enlisted the help of 20 others and between them they managed to get quite a quantity of bum-wipers. He then went on eBay advertising his wares at a highly inflated price but eBay soon disabled his account.

The man, desperate to offload his wares had the gall to approach the supermarket hoping to return the goods – and of course he was quickly told what he could do with his rolls, albeit most politely. He has now been left with 150 packages of 32 rolls in each, making a total of 4,800 rolls – oh, yes, and 150 units of hand-sanitiser.

Still it looks like he might know a lot of other bums, well at least 20…..….
