When I left work my diet improved dramatically. The last 2 years there weren't great, quite stressful and it was far too easy to skip breakfast at home and get a bacon or sausage baguette from the shop over the road by work. Now I always have porridge for breakfast, thats high in fibre. Thought all you Scots had that for breakfast. Thanks for sharing the colonoscopy details  Worth having a good diet if thats what goes on. I had an endoscopy to look at the top end a few years ago. That was just dont eat for 24 hours. I thought the camera & tube would only be the size of my little finger, but more like twice that. The doc who was supposed to do it was going to be an hour late, but they got the registrar off the ward to lend a hand (2 docs needed to do it). So it went ahead on time. They got down to the end of the whatever its called, with what looked like 3 feet of tube inside me, and there was this loud beeping noise. That spooked me, but then I realised I wasn't connected up to anything, so not me. It was her pager. She said sorry I've got to go. Bye, thanks for popping in. The other doc pulled it out, checking on the way up. I could now see the monitor, its a strange feeling looking at the inside of you in real time. |

I do like my porridge, but supermarkets don’t sell it over here....I usually get one of our contractors who commute from the UK to bring me over a box... When I say porridge I mean Scott’s Porage Oats!! |

The people stockpiling huge quantities of high alcohol hand cleaner or buying it for £20 a bottle off t'internet are going to realise the error of their ways soon. We are heading for higher levels of lockdown, and plain old soap and water is more effective for cleaning your hands.

"Panic on the streets of London" sang a closeted racist twat in the 1980s. In 2020, it's panic in the supermarkets nationwide.
Both of my local Sainsburys resemble something out of 1960s Soviet Russia. Yeah, a few old Doriskis with faces like the back end of a tractor and empty shelves as far as the eye can see.
The checkout lady told me that they are still getting deliveries but there's no staff to sort it and shelve it.
Local butchers and greengrocers are well stocked each morning but well denuded by the afternoon.
What this country needs is the return of the ration book; updated for the current situation ie. no more than two of any named item. However, a special ration book will be issued to all the Br*x*t supporting bellends who've been banging on about WW2 for the last four years. See how you get on with one egg and four ounces of butter every month you gammon cunts.

We are still effectively in the EU so brexit isn't really a major factor here is it. Really. It's a virus from China not a political decision gone wrong. The wrong decision has been hand wringing by the WHO not wanting to offend their Chinese backhanders.
Hopefully the next time this shit starts the shutters come down on the country involved asap.

Never said it was, mekorona
Dim bulbs that think wartime conditions are aspirational need a taste of the daily realities of living in such times
We are all getting a teeny tiny taste of that now, whether we like it or not
There was going to be more but I lost momentum.

There were a lot of Brexiters who said the UK, who won 2 world wars and the world cup, had nothing to fear from a hard line Brexit, if we did have difficulties with trade across the channel our plucky nation would take it on the chin.
The reality is that nearly 3 1/2 years after the referendum, we finally left the EU (sort of). When the going gets tough the tough decide to buy bog roll in vast quantities.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a Russian bot account. It ain't satire for surely.
