CV and mad panic behaviour
#51
The ONLY reason I became accustomed to interstate beers can be traced back to the frequent CUB strikes of the 70s.  To this day, I'll still enjoy a Coopers pale ale.  So we never really ran out of beer.  But this stuff is insane

Rationing would rapidly be implemented. This was still in place in my boyhood but I'm not sure how people would cope with it now. The black market would thrive of course as it did then. Plenty of opportunity for budding entrepreneurs.
Reality always wins in the end.

I’m in Mansfield for the weekend and the dunny roll panic hasn’t struck here; the shelves are full ... and it’s only a two hour drive from Melbourne if you’re desperate ?

They are so full of crap, you can understand their urgency! ;D

I feel sorry for the imbeciles, in this case I'm being descriptive not derogatory!

Just a positive one...Coles at Wynnum Plaza today.
Walked into empty shelves and just as I was about to go to the next aisle out came a trolley of TP.
No mad rush. Folks just stood back while the store people unloaded.
After they'd finished people helped themselves and just about everyone only took a single packet despite a store limit of 4.
Maybe it's calming down a bit.
