The things you can't buy during lockdown thread
Discussion
Seeing as everyone wants to start their own virus related thread, I thought that I would make it my turn now.
What have you not been able to get hold of for love nor money during lockdown. At least possibly not for a normal price?
For me:
Concept 2 Rower - the manufacturer simply aren't making any at the moment. Every fitness supplier is cleaned out. Ebay is fully of scalpers.
Garden Shredder - just cleaned out everywhere. I guess everyone is trying to tidy their garden now!
And i am current debating getting a portable aircon unit. Lockdown and possible high temps doesn't seem like it's going to be much fun.

Ford touch up paint. Ford parts and dealers closed, ebay had a handful of official ones (not taking a risk on dodgy ones). Ordered one a month ago and still not dispatched.
Garage floor paint. Need a bigger 5l tin, but these are mainly just click and collect rather than delivery and a number of places didn't have the specific one I was after available to order anyway.
Glad I anticipated demand for hair clippers before the rush though!

Eggs - where did they go? Chickens don't stop laying and the restaurants won't want them, yet none in the shops.
Flour - ditto. Most of the bakeries are shut, but there is no flour to be found anywhere.
No issue with eggs here in South Staffs. Most indie bakeries might be shut but bread factories are still blazing away. Wholesalers are not about to to start parting out hundredweight bags, are they?Flour - ditto. Most of the bakeries are shut, but there is no flour to be found anywhere.

Incorrect....I bought from Amazon a few weeks back, and a quick google shows most usual suppliers opne but a little slower on deliveries.
Open, yes, but a lot of stuff is out of stock. Took three weeks to get hold of a CO2 canister!grumbledoak said:

My chickens are laying 12 a day on average, I eat 2 or 3 and give the rest away. Flour - ditto. Most of the bakeries are shut, but there is no flour to be found anywhere.
