I felt like I was back in the midst of storm Emma during the week, with people on Twitter tweeting photos of empty shelves. The main difference was that instead of folk panic-buying bread they were panic-buying toilet roll.

One tweet read: “Got a 24 pack of Andrex here lads. Looking to swap for a 250+ acre farm with modern buildings, and at least a four bedroom house.”

I am reliably informed shops and supermarkets will have no issue sourcing toilet roll, so there is no need for people to lose the run of themselves.

However, in the event that you ever do run out of toilet roll, at any stage of your life, dock leaves can come in handy if you’re really stuck.
