This Coronavirus stuff is all going a bit mental isn’t it?
When I started hearing about the chaos with loo roll, I couldn’t help but
wonder whether severe shitting was involved. But no, this isn’t the case, so
maybe people are using rolls of loo paper to build padded cells?
It is hard to keep up and I am not sure who is maddest? Is

sociable and bubbly (probably annoyingly so) character, she was not looking

generally have the misfortune of stumbling upon BBC Question Time. Even without
that, I have tended to avoid it after it turned into a bear pit last year when
