I was conflicted when I was in the other day, weekly shop no intention of more than once a week.

But I tried to follow the arrows and keep my distance however at the same time, as I had a list, get everything done quickly as there was a queue outside and lessen my being around other people.

Going out tomorrow for more stuff and intend to try to be a better shopper.

I can’t believe it!!!! I went to the Range to buy some bath bombs and there was a woman there buying a lamp shade. Surely that’s not essential ?? Then I went to Asda to buy some balloons ?? But on the way there i saw 2 people less than 6ft apart and they were chatting. Surely that’s not essential. In Asda they ran out of balloons so I had to go to home bargains. While I was in home bargains some bloke was buying a Easter egg. Come on people we’ve all got to take this isolating seriously.

But why is The Range an essential shop to be allowed to stay open?

What's so "essential" to be purchased that can't be bought at the usual Big supermarket chains?

True a lot of shops and on line retailers are put staff at risk, but that's big business for you.

There was a lot of controversy over the range being open, a lot of the staff unhappy at being there.

Some of their stores recently added freezers selling food which enables them to stay open.

Same here op...I went to one of the german supermarkets and no queue outside but well over a hundred people inside.

I buggered off to but phoned thier head office.. told them and said if it wasn't sorted by the next day I'd be on to the council and police.

Fecking big queue the next day but hey it's a safer environment inside now...and I'd encourage others to do the same.

They do. A guy with a scarf wrapped round his face stood behind me as I was queuing for a prescription yesterday. Fortunately my "fuck right off I'm a venomous bitch" stare warded off not only him but the virus . He backed away terrified muttering an apology.

To true, I saw one lady, raise her mask up, and put the shopping list she'd been holding in her mouth, while picking something up.

There was a scouser on a news report from a food bank the other night...kept moving his mask up to cover his nose while talking to the reporter.

He had the mask on upside down with the nose bar on his chin ffs...you'd have thought the reporter would have told him

I simply don't change my clothes or wash for 6 days, go shopping, get back shower, rinse repeat, seems to keep people at bay.

People seem to have found a new way to annoy eachother. There was a queue a mile long for one of the few banks still open and though everyone was well behaved queuing in the rain, those that had managed to get in and be seen to walked out and passed within inches of people in the queue when they came out, even though there was enough room either side.

The supermarket was so well organised but people were trying to concentrate on getting everything they need first time you could tell we were all forgetting what we were doing.

The kinder part of me thinks we are just a very confused species at the moment.
