    I did notice that while all the toilet paper was gone from my local Woolies, there were still large quantities of paper towels and napkins - can't people think beyond the (thunder)box.

    I prefer baby wipes.. the added bonus is it can cut down the daily shower to weekly showers.

    I was kidding.. I don't use them at home.. camping on the other hand.. They'd get packed in a bag to be brought home for the trash in that case.

    You could be wiped out in the stock market, but not in the bathroom.

    I heard a report that they marked their website as sold out so that they could keep supplying their "regular" customers.

    I accidentally ordered 180 rolls on Amazon a few weeks ago, so I'm good for a while!

    It's a safer way to store gas in case supply lines are affected.

    I'd collect my regular daily newspaper for use, but the screen would get all dirty and hard to read.

    Nah, if dunny paper runs out, we will do what we used to do in the bush - use gum leaves (leaves you with a nice eucalyptus aroma) :D.

    If the gum leaves run out, you don’t want to know ... :eek:.

    The gum trees close to our area will leave your backside black.
