Going to my German village supermarket in next hour. Anyone thinking food shortages and petrol shortages are rampant here too like me to video the empty shelves and petrol station queues? Perhaps Daily Express reader out there?

OK, I'm sure the requests are leg pulling but here you go, own fault.
Village 1700 inhabitants satellite franchise supermarket of national chain Edeka. It's 11am and it closes in 2 hours. The main supermarket is 3km away coming up in another clip

For the supermarket pretty busy so couldn't get to all the fresh fruit eg strawberries. Remember closes in 2 hours so not refilling fresh stuff. Here the dry, frozen, chilled and some of drinks.

Then 3km to the large petrol station & truck stop directly on the Munich Lake Constance Switzerland autobahn A96. Radio traffic report just before this clip took couple minutes, everybody out & about heading to Alps. Large Edeka supermarket here too but no point going in

Nearly home. Alps looking absolutely delicious. This morning long procession of Old-timer cars (mainly cabriolet) and motorbikes went past house heading south. No camera,!
If anyone wants to check time and date of videos then listen to car radio and check Bayern1 playlist

PS I bought you all a litre of still fermenting new wine Federweisser at the supermarket. €2.49 is on me, 1st come first served...

THREAD END

PS to the above thread. This evening polishing off my last bottle of Federweisser. While bottled it is still fermenting & thus changes in taste & alcohol%. The lid is not tight, bottles must be kept upright. Sold in supermarket chilled cabinets as that slows down fermenting.
