Everyone round sungod's for a handwashing party. Once we finish the isopropyl, we can move on to the traditional bubbly and tawny port.

if you are finding it hard to get hand sanitising liquid, or would like some to give to the vulnerable, the world health org recipe to make around a litre of your own is...
750 isopropyl alcohol - amazon, ebay, engineering/lab supplies etc.
40 hydrogen peroxide 3% solution - supermarket/pharmacy, it's used as a mouthwash
15 glycerol or glycerin - supermarket/pharmacy
190 water (boil it and allow to cool before adding)
...these are pre-mix volumes in ml, do not start with a one litre measuring flask and finish by topping up with water as the way the molecules fit together means you'll have added too much water
the hydrogen peroxide and glycerol are not essential to its performance, you can just do a 750ml ips + 250ml water mix

Hmm, similar story in Tesco.hopkinb said:
I was one of the first through the door, so the shelves were fully stocked - people were mainly going for tinned tomatos this morning, so maybe folk have decided they don't much like unadorned pasta.veronese68 said:
I went to the Waitrose in Raynes Park to get stuff for the old dear last night H³, they had no Maris Pipers. Managed to get most of what she wanted though.
It's like there's some trash Twitter account telling everyone what to buy and the lambs are just following....Hopefully to the slaughterhouse.
so I just popped to the nearest local minimarket, think Tesco express/Sainsbury local size, and bear in mind its 1 of at least 5 of the same size shops in walkable distance round here and doesnt even have parking,and has had a limit on 3 per item since the weekend,thistle_(mbnw) said:

their meat chiller cabinets were basically empty, just random lone packets of stuff left, no fresh food of any kind, the veg/fruit and bread all completely gone, and most of the packaged food sauce stuff, all gone.
either they missed a delivery today or people round here are going certifiably nuts. plenty of alcohol though so there was an upside, but my fave local pub is doing take outs, so I grabbed some from there instead whilst I still can.0 -

Schools shut indefinitely on Friday. My wfh will be teacher Pinno. God help them.
@oxoman: the problem with those frikkin spell checkers are, that they are 'Merican. But even well known Proper Nouns of significant 'Merican events, people and places get a red underline, so I have to go Google it and 'add to dictionary'.

those that are left open at leastoxoman said:My local sainsbury,s had plenty of electrical stuff, clothes etc but nothing to eat and mainly non alco beer. Freezers, biscuits, basically every aisle stripped bare. looked like a closing down sale. Rumour has it pubs are next with compulsory closure next week.
I know a bunch have closed already, with staff losing their jobs, the rest for all the positiveness they are maintaining seem to be selling off their existing stock as quickly as they can and maybe just hoping they can survive by keeping some turnover via take outs, some are even doing pub meals as takeout now, but obviously its much lower volume and Id surprised if its maintainable for very long. 0 -
Pubs still open around here, but local butcher was only allowed two pigs today 0
