Went for the weekly shop yesterday. Some stuff like Milk and, oddly, rice very scarce if not non existent. Fuel no problems at all. Lot's of mop's on shelves too. Very little deep frozen stuff.

Was told that the big Supermarket chains will be getting safe passage escorts.

Local Spud/onion/tomato van-parked-on-the-roundabout man was doing excellent trade - he assured us he has LOADS of stock.
