Well, never in my life have I ever had to get up at 6.30am in the morning to drive in the dark just to buy bog roll.

And no, I'm not a hoarder.

(My wife could not get any yesterday in our area, after going to 3 supermarkets, and even standing in a long queue for half an hour, after which an announcement was made there was none left).

At 6.50a.m., I stood amongst 50 people outside the supermarket waiting for it to open its doors at 7.00am.

Doors open, and everyone rushes to the same aisle.

None on the shelves, "great!" I thought, then saw a woman with a roll in her hands... "Where did you get that?", I said.

"Oh, you have to go to the back door, they are being handed out one per customer by the security guards".

It's a crazy world at the moment.

Make sure you wash your hands when you get home because it looks like you may have touched a Mitsubishi (or Renault)

Haha... Never take my Pony to supermarket shopping centres, that's what the ASX is for.

Hey Roddy, with your borders closed. Maybe no more deliveries of dunny rolls on the Princess of Tasmania?

The new world of drone espionage and drone-facilitated petty crime; pinch it from one house and for a fee - deliver it to another without leaving the drone’s grip inbetween. There’s going to be people facilitating this; a bog roll log rôle making bones from drones in homes.
