Think Australia are a couple of weeks behind so they'll either follow suit or wait till then, Golden Slipper this weekend too so who knows what they'll do

No need to buy one. I am sure looting will start soon, so just pop along and help yourself.

I've got a multigym that I still haven't assembled a year after moving. At least I might get the time to set it up and even use it. :)

I dismantled it myself in the old flat so everything's there. Problem is I didn't have the time to neatly organise the different size screws and bolts - about 300 of them all chucked into bags. So it will be a mighty jigsaw puzzle finding all the right parts.

This may only be today and all will be fine on the day of delivery (thursday), but looks like the panic could be setting in :(
It is fairly common place and getting worse. If you want an interesting ticker open Ocado's website and see how quickly the virtual queue is growing just to get to the actual website, let alone put anything in your virtual basket.

The queue has actually halved in the last hour or 2. When I was looking earlier it was a little over 10,000 people in the queue and it was growing at a rate of about 1,000 people every 5 minutes.

Though as I say the queue is now currently halved, at a little over 5,000 people queuing just to get in through the virtual doors!

You'll be lucky if there's anything left in the shops. :lol:

I'm not selfish enough to panic buy but I am getting worried that cigarettes and beer could be the next casualties.
