Hoarders wiping out toilet paper supply

[sovereignvikingemperor]

Shoppers in Finland raided shelves for toilet paper Wednesday in fear of it running out as a lockout of workers kept the Nordic country's paper mills shut."As soon as we get a delivery, the packages vanish off the shelves. The big bags go first," said Hille Laine, manager of a central Helsinki shop which had no tissue paper products left.Paper makers enforced a four-week lockout on May 18 following a two-day strike by workers. The dispute in the key export sector is mainly over industry's plans to scrap mill shutdowns during some holidays and on the use of outside labor.The latest round of talks between workers and employers ended without a deal Wednesday, meaning that the lockout will continue at least until Monday when they are due meet again.Original article

Considering that the Finns use the most toilet paper per capita in the world, I'm not surprised . No toilet paper hoarding in my family, though, we can just pretend that the shower is a bidet if toilet paper ever becomes a problem (it won't) . Jag har glömt hur pjäserna stod!

I've got enough for about six months, but that's just because I usually buy them in big packages and this one I bought two months ago.
