PANIC BUY!

[Mussels]

You'll be amazed to know things are no better in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany in both terms of supply issues and more importantly Covid19 issues, which these countries are getting worse at the moment not better.

People in the UK seem to have moved on mostly from Covid, but in EU and i expect worldwide it's still a massive issue.

The UK is the worst in Europe.

That's not what the article says, infection rates are higher at the moment but that's always been a seesaw.

I don't see any of us selling their houses and posessions and moving out. For a start, where exactly would 'we' move to at the moment with the worldwide pandemic and how easy do you think that would be currently ?

Wifey and I are doing just that. I moved out of my house 6 weeks ago, the campervan will be ready at the end of the month, Irish passport shortly after and we're off. Ireland initially for a couple of weeks then probably Spain for the winter. I can't see us buying a property in the UK again.

Is that rate anything to do with the amount of testing compared to other countries?

How long had you been thinking about it? And why?

[DefTrap]

Us upwardly mobile dickheads with a few quid have always been fine though. If my local environment goes to hell I can move. You -can- move abroad, the weird forriners won't kill you.

I'd even move the the north of England (shudders) if the south becomes a wasteland of no fuel and Tories.

I reckon its mostly in your head anyway. If you're a c*nt you'll just take your c*ntyness with you to a foreign land.

Let's be honest...the worst that has happened is that you've maybe had to queue for petrol and you can't get your favourite biccies. I've been to the London at least twice and never once been murdered.

I liked that for this bit!! LOL There are plenty of expats I meet that have done exactly that. Mostly the ones that won't learn the language and winge like fk about anything they fancy to that day!!

[Count Steer]

Woohoo! £35sworth.....in each car!

(Didn't get murdered or even frowned at too....yay!)

The HalfGlassEmpty brigade will always be unhappy moaners.

The HalfGlassFull brigade will get on with their lives and try to be happy.

So it has always been.

The Meeja however always quote the HalfGlassEmpty crew, and try very hard to recruit and waverers to that camp.

A “good news” paper would be something like the thing that the Jehovahs stick through the door.

This weekend I have filled my car up with BP Ultimate and didn't queue to do so either. In fact, I had the choice of several pumps. We also went food shopping and got everything we needed and there were no shortages of anything. I also walked my dogs through some beautiful woodlands that are in abundance in this green and pleasant land. Life is good. I'm going nowhere, both geographical and career-wise!

I went panic buying, but they’d run out of panic!

I posted a happy, happy, joy, joy post on this thread yesterday too.

We are happy little bunnies

Positivity is catching

We went to watch the new James Bond film in the Gary Rhodes Theatre, food was smashing, then we went for a stroll along the sea front, bought an ice-cream and marvelled at the never ending energy of the ocean, Mrs Potter had a paddle in the warm clear water. I had a call to do so we walked over to the yacht and Mrs Potter made us a nice cup of tea in the galley whilst I did my call, then we chilled on the deck and fed some ducks that came around the boat on the scrounge.
No panic involved.

Life is good

We have a nice chappy who feeds the ducks for us

Do you know, I didn't know there were ducks in the Middle East, I don't know why I thought there wouldn't be, as you obviously get birds in hot countries.

Went to the New Forest with the mtb trail bikes (65 minutes from chez nous), sun came out and had a lovely day. Fueled up with diesel on the way (choice of empty pump slots), no panic.

I filled up at a Shell station on the A6 near Kendal. There were no queues, in fact mine was the only vehicle on the forecourt. There was no super so I had to use the E10 and there was a £35 limit per transaction. Even at 139.9 I'm not going to get anywhere near £35 in a Speed Triple
