Panic buying has spread throughout the UK, with toilet paper being the most sort after commodity since new binge watches on Netflix. One can assure you wiping your arse won’t give you any protection whatsoever against the coronavirus, but washing your hands might.

The head coach of Arsenal Football Club, Mikel Arteta, has also been diagnosed with coronavirus, although one firmly believes he’s actually got Spanish flu.
“No-one seems to be safe from infection, which is why one has driven to mummy’s, taken care of Philip, grabbed Liz, gone to Windsor, and is currently having a cup of tea and waiting for it to blow over”.

Our ancestors told stories of how they survived world wars. Many years from now we can tell our grandchildren and great grandchildren of how we survived the Great Toilet Paper Famine of 2020.
