I'd guess plenty of companies will suddenly have a lot more employees by the end of the week :o
The scammers are already inflating their payrolls

Well my local tescos have a lot of people without uniforms (like they do at Xmas) so yes capialism and supply/demand rolls on.
Also today saw the first glimmers that the panic-buying is diminishing or the supply chain is responding. Still no meat though. Unless you are willing to pay for sirloin/fillet etc.
My worry about the 80% wage thing is it doesn't seem sustainable and perhaps this govt signalling that the virus is going to rip thru and be over within a couple of months.

Will go nice with some chips, failing that you can melt them down and wipe your bum with them.

Just bought the last 20 cans of guinness from the local corner shop. Asked why so many? "for the little ole lady down the street"

(don't think they believed me)...

FFS We are being TOLD to exercise restraint!! The reason it's the last 20 cans is because people like you are buying 20 cans at a time. :roll: We really are fucked when nobody can follow basic instructions and have this "I'm alright so fuck everyone else" attitude. Maybe an intensive care doctor might fancy a drink when (or if) they get home?

You also need a U system coupler, a gas mixture of 75% nitrogen and 25% carbon dioxide and exactly 38 pounds of pressure, and of course the 2 pour technique 👨🏻‍🎓
