Shops hit by snow chaos and panic buying
Blizzards and icy conditions meant many shoppers abandoned their trips while some stores were forced to close.
Brent Cross shopping centre in North London, one of Britain’s biggest, was forced to close on Saturday afternoon, losing trade worth up to an estimated £5m.
In some supermarkets there were long queues and empty shelves as shoppers began to panic buy amid fears food supplies would not reach stores in time for Christmas.
So basically the snow kept everybody away yet panic buying cleared the shelves? Shrugs:

Oh and they are forever emailing you after you have bought from them but I find the delete button soooooo handy. How many rooms they think one home has is a mystery.

Same goes for Glasses Direct, I got my glasses from them a couple of months back, every week since then I have at least one e-mail from them with their latest offers. They must think we're all like Elton John or Dame Edna
