最近英国造纸工业联合会(Confederation of Paper Industries)总干事Andrew Large做出了令人担忧的预测。

他警告说，如果英国在3月29日无协议脱欧，卫生纸的供应可能会迅速告急。

He said supplies were enough to last several weeks - if people kept calm.

他说如果人们保持冷静的话，厕纸的供应量可以维持数周。

But he added: “When people start panic buying, they could empty the shelves within hours.

但他补充说：“当人们开始恐慌性购买时，厕纸可能会在数小时内扫荡一空。”

"No system could keep up with that."

没有任何办法可以扛得住。
