So I stole it off Twitter!
Purchase limits place on shops in light of the Corona virus panic buying.
ASDA: 2 hand sanitisers and a 4 pack of toilet rolls
TESCO: 1 hand sanitiser , 500g of rice and 4 pack of toilet rolls
ALDI: a MIG welder, a pink sports bra, 2 trumpets, 1 spare wheel for a barrow..

They reckon only about 15% of the public are actually panic buying but if more and more people have to self isolate this will only increase and rise to 40-50% causing short term supply shortages.

I think I messed up - and now I’m stuck with 400 scotch eggs
I thought it said people were “picnic†buying.

LOL! Being a regular shopper at Aldi I can see what you mean. They sell anything they think they can shift.

I'm working from home.
Luckily I managed to get the last Tassimo latte pods in the Co-Op down the road this morning. I was ready to fight for them but luckily the old lady couldn't reach high enough on the shelf.
Desperate times indeed.
