Are you a squirrel, lemming or jack ass?

Squirrels gather their nuts for winter, lemmings follow each other over cliffs in bouts of mass hysteria and a jackass is just a jackass.

And today we have queues round the Tescos car park, security guards and police used by supermarkets as panic buying goes into turbo charge mode.

Supermarkets are not empty. There is food. Just not necessarily the basics.

Fruit, veg, meat, pasta, paracetamol and cheap alcohol have all shot from the shelves.... Don't know what kind of self isolating party these people are having but I am glad I am not invited.

As you may know, I hate the shortening of words, BREXIT Covid19 and of course FOMO. Why are people so afraid of missing out that they need to spend their entire monthly wages on stocking up their   Deep freezes and fridges to overflowing.

 If only we did our weekly shopping as we all do but stood 1 1/2 m away from each other we would all be fine. 

I always feel sorry for the items that are left on the shelves.......all the sweet corn tins had gone.....but there were loads of tins of peas......since when did they go out of fashion.

All the wine under £7 had gone but the good stuff was still bountiful. 

There were calls in a newspaper for Boris to get the wartime spirit going.........well with security outside supermarkets we already have rationing and following BREXIT our new found fear of foreigners.

Think smart. Hunker down and wait. 

Hopefully the bloke who left with an 8 month supply of toilet rolls....won't be back in tomorrow .....sadly the people who didn't get any yesterday will mutate into him in time for the tills to open tomorrow as they missed out yesterday and so the whole FOMO thing mutates.

We should have known things would be like this. See motorways......how come we all grind to a halt when there isn't an accident.....and everyone thinks that any one of the other lanes is travelling at 1/2 mph faster than theirs so they want to change lanes and then someone else wants to change and move into their space....then there's the bloke who bombs down the lane with the red T and indicates like a mad thing knowing that we will still let him in even though we have done the sensible British thing and queued up sensibly.

We need leadership,information and a clear plan........and then we all need to stick to it!
