So no generic paracetamol at all there is the interesting one. The others have been substituted at least. The substitute burgers are no use to me as they're no longer vegan. That pasta is the wrong shape, Clare doesn't want diet coke or full fat cheese. We only ordered those biscuits as they were a free offer, will the substitutes be free? I can't remember so sending them back anyway.
Who is stockpiling all the cheese then? Is it the hallouminati?
(Nick Helm joke there).
