Yes. The reality when you get to these Supermarkets is totally a different scenario. The habitual hoarders are part of the queue. You all know who you are. Hold your heads in shame. You are a disgrace to this country.

Report on this? Seriously Did they honestly put that live on Twitter? Like...when have you ever dined our on a pair of trainers and cycling shorts? This has to be the sickest joke to date? SportsDirectUK

What about police who are working 16 hour days. Or other shift workers. I start at 6 am when the supermarkets near me open. When I finish at 6pm they’re pretty much empty.
