When I read the social media doom and gloom about banking I remember that there are people still with attics full of bottled water and toilet paper because they lost their damn minds three year ago and stripped the shelves bare. People are panicky. Americans especially so.
@sullybiker If one keeps it in the laundry room, is that better or worse than the attic?
Asking for a friend.
@sullybiker Actually, I probably only have a hundred or so rolls, but it’s ok: I’m going to be driving past Costco in a few weeks.
@Flick Hope you can get lots of money in the mattress!
@sullybiker You mock, but my “they’re going to lock us down tomorrow” last-minute shopping trip resulted in a lettuce, a bottle of gin and a razor. Rural habits.
@sullybiker A few weeks later, I was selling eggs, flour and yeast in the village car park ;)
@Flick I've got used to it in a decade or so of being here. I only really started to think about it during Covid because people got a bit crazy. That said, nothing happened locally.
@sullybiker I am so glad we don’t have the gun culture here. Me, I found being ready for getting snowed in and not wanting to have to drive to the shops because you’ve run out of something was pretty handy.
