I was at a Sainsburys over the weekend as an old boy who probably does 10 miles a week normally was packing his bags while telling the cashier how he and his wife both did a Giggles first thing that morning. The cashier then said she'd also panic bought before work.
Utterly furious inside I wondered how far one could go with this before the cashier would find it unacceptable, so as I was packing my bags I struck up a conversation about it before telling her that me and the Mrs have four cars at home and while we only ever drive two of them we'd filled all of them up at 4:57 this morning. Not a hint of disturbed was seen on her face before she then said, without any hint of irony, "you can't be too careful, can you".
It's a shame the Chinese didn't let a far worse virus escape.
