Supermarket brand giant Sainsbury's had major outage nationwide, due to messed up software overnight. Online orders placed and paid for were also lost.

"The shop is in absolute chaos, cash only, no contactless, chip and pin intermittent, no self-checkout without cash, cash machines not working, horrendous queues at checkout."

Saturday morning shoppers panic as unable to pay for their trolleys or withdraw cash from Sainsbury's cash machines or fill petrol from Sainsbury's pumps.

Panic extrapolates, everyone assuming their bank is the problem, so spike in reports on down detector, of visa, masterccard and major bank being down .

In terms of the national psyche, we're all on edge, primed and waiting for the meltdown. Something as simple as a beloved supermarket chain having trouble accepting your money becomes a spark that lights up the forest.

Oh well, off to Lidl 😂
