"We were talking with a chap last night who delivery drives for a very large paper products manufacturer in the Midlands. He said: 'We arrive each day to pick up our loads for deliveries and there are literally hundreds of thousands of toilet rolls in the warehouse floor-to-ceiling and more being made every day - people don't need to panic buy. We are never going to run out of toilet rolls!!!' From the hourses mouth. Its not the production but the distribution we may need to worry about. It's great if they are in a warehouse but if people have to stay at home....." Distribution isn’t a problem. As an HGV driver I’ve just been given the green light to drive slightly longer IF I need to in order to get essentials to distribution centers or shops. That doesn’t mean to deliver a sofa to a customers home though. Just the essentials and food to where they need to be to allow people to buy them for themselves. | |||

"Why is it still stood in the warehouse is my question. The store shelves are empty but leaving it in storage somewhere isn't much more responsible than the panic buyers. " He says because the supermarkets do not have the storage space in each shop so they are delivered daily (on a JIT basis). And people are buying too many too fast. He's a delivery driver one of many. They are delivering. | |||

"Why is it still stood in the warehouse is my question. The store shelves are empty but leaving it in storage somewhere isn't much more responsible than the panic buyers. " ALL warehouses work on a ‘just in time’ system. It takes a while to ramp it up and they don’t physically have the space to hold more than 2-3 days worth of supplies. Think about it this way.... Asda needs 10 pallets of loo roll. But there are say 120 stores supplied from one depot. So that 1200 pallets. For 2 days supply. 26 pallets per artic. 47 lorry loads. For 2 days. For one depot. For 120 stores. See how it soon mounts up?? We are 50000 drivers short as it is in the UK. We are doing our best though and our hours have been extended. Please let the lorries through - they may be carrying essentials. It’s important that they get there in one piece with as little stress as possible. Isn’t it funny how lorry drivers are denigrated and derided until people realise how important we are. | |||

"Why is it still stood in the warehouse is my question. The store shelves are empty but leaving it in storage somewhere isn't much more responsible than the panic buyers. " There was a TV News report earlier in the week where Loo Paper manufacturers have stepped up production, but cannot get the stocks out to the retailers. One factory owner, said he was producing 154,000 loo rolls a day, but the supermarkets and hauliers as a whole are struggling with the distribution of everything to shops etc. | |||

Except for when they drive like twunts and pull out in front of a car doing 70mph to their 45mph, just so that they don’t have to brake themselves - then it’s gloves off. Otherwise you do an amazing job and most people are grateful, or live in ignorance. | |||

"I’m engineering manager for a tissue manufacturing mill and we make approximately 70 tonnes of toilet tissue per day and that’s just us, we are one of many in the uk and many produce double our output. We will never run out of toilet rolls and the problem is people are buying at a rate that is physically impossible to replace at. The hauliers are doing their job safely and responsibly, the warehouses are doing their job and the supermarkets are doing their job. It’s the small minded people who panic buy thinking the supply chain is going to collapse and there will be no food etc in the shops. Perhaps if everyone had to self isolate at once it would, but that isn’t going to happen is it. People will be off and then go back to work, then someone else will be off. Maybe multiple at same time but not everyone in the uk at once. We all need to calm the fuck down and work together to make this as easy and pleasant as possible. I’ll step down off my box now.

"How much toilet roll do you need for two weeks? I would have thought not really that many. " Unfortunately my wife and I both have a condition called bile acid malabsorption. This basically give us almost constant runs. We each can go through a roll a day if we get a bad flare up. We each take up to 12 loporimide when we go out or play to avoid accidents but this can't be done that often. We are getting worried that we are going to run out soon but even if we can get our hands on the three ply gold we won't horde it. Others have conditions with similar symptoms and they need it too. If people like us can resist panic buying when we actually have a genuine need there the rest of you can too. | |||

" Good luck with that!! There are a limited amount of delivery slots. There simply isn’t enough supply of refrigerated vans to go around so if you think supermarkets can deliver to every household in Britain once a week - climb out of you dreamworld and off your unicorn into the real world. People will still need to go shopping. Just try and pick tines when you think it will be quieter. Easier said than done when you have to chase round 19 stores just to get your normal weekly shop. I anticipate this week it will take 3 to 4 attempts to get what I need for myself and my kids and my ex as she can’t risk going out with her health conditions. I’m happy to do it but my life would be easier if the supermarkets had stopped this in its tracks before it got started. Instead of bleating now about there being plenty of supply, why the hell dis they allow people to buy 3 trolleys full of loo roll and hand sanitizer in the first place??? | |||

" Can I please recommend that you ask your doc for Cholestagel tablets (colesevelam hydrochloride)? Loperamide won't treat bile acid malabsorption. You can also reduce it by reducing the foods that generate more bile secretion ie lower fat. I stopped eating red meat, stopped fried anything and cut fat off everything. That, plus Cholestagel was the solution to the problem and I have few symptoms any more. | |||
