just watched a critical care nurse getting upset because after a 48 hour shift she can't find any food to feed her over the next 48hours .I hope all the hoarders saw this and are feeling rotten about their greedy ways .

[Mexican18]

She had just finished a 14h shift, not 48!

[Mexican18]

Nonetheless, it was very upsetting!

[Theland]

Yes saw it .
An absolute disgrace.
Those people should be ostracised and mocked publically for their selfish behaviour.

[douglas9401]

If I was her I'd get myself up to the canteen at work.

Maybe she was on her way when accosted by a newshound with a nose for a story.

[emmie]

i really felt sorry for her, very emotional piece

[mallyh]

sorry I thought she said 48

[Theland]

The canteen won't supply her necessary shopping will it?

[ummmm]

Do people not have food in their cupboards?

[douglas9401]

No, but it will keep body and soul together until the Tesco truck unloads.

This is not yet eating rats and crows in an African setting.

[mallyh]

she wanted fresh stuff .she said she needs to stay healthy to help us ,it was quite upsetting watching her

[Spicerack]

Lol. You sound like Marie Antoinette, ummmm.

I think a lot of people these days don't seem to have 'store cupboards'. Maybe its a generation thing, who knows, but my daughter does a menu for one week and buys just the food for the menus that week. A lot of people rely on take outs too. I thought that video was a set up actually. She seems a bit unbalanced to me.

[douglas9401]

AUNT POLLY GRAY!!! Wash your mouth out with soap substitute!

[johnny.5]

I know how she feels I started work at 6 am yesterday and finished at 7 pm I stopped for some beers at the supermarket the shelves were empty in tesco and lidl
I got my beer but I felt so sorry for the staff in lidl they looked so tired and had been abused so many times having to limit pasta, flour and even water

[Theland]

Shelves totally stripped of door hinges and lavatory brushes.
Disgraceful!

[emmie]

i have watched it several time and she did say 48 hour shift....

[mallyh]

thanks emmie I don't need to get my ears checked x

[wiltsman]

'i have watched it several time and she did say 48 hour shift....'

Yes Emmie - she did say she just completed a 48 hour shift.

[Mexican18]

Perhaps it is me who needs their ears tested?
I am still convinced that she said 14!

[douglas9401]

48 hours does seem like long time to work, especially in a job where attention to detail is so important.
