First Wazzock 902 Posted March 23, 2020 There’s not much food left on the shelves so today I just bought what I could get my hands on, and I’ve tried crab paste for the very first time. It’s disgusting, I’m taking it back to the chemist first thing tomorrow to get a refund. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T 190 Posted March 23, 2020 Good luck with that. Impressed with individual attention from NHS. Not heard of that elsewhere. I suspect the rest of us are not far behind. There are at least some good online options these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s disgusting, I’m taking it back to the chemist first thing tomorrow to get a refund. I was at school with Kevin Steggles who famously allowed Steve Bruce a free header. He told me that the replacement for Bobby Robson, a guy called Bobby Ferguson, had problems with a chemist. He got sunburned on a pre season tour and was prescribed Calamine lotion. He used 2 tablespoons as directed and complained that it gave him the trots when he swallowed it. They realised they were doomed from that point 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,481 Posted March 23, 2020 At 12 weeks Ricardo I hope you'll see out the peak of this before you rejoin the wider community. Let's hope we get that reducing peak soon. And 8 magnums is one a week rationing for you but you can have a Peroni for the other 4 weeks😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
