It'll all come out in the wash, and we have a good supply of tea. Seriously, here in the middle of Wales it's still a remote problem. Most are just being stoic, to be honest... but once the supermarkets start going dry there's going to be a lot of confusion and anxiety... if not outright panic. In the cities... I don't really want to imagine how this is going to go down. |
