"I am sure groceries are pretty essential and the point is to limit unnecessary outside contact, no?! " I've had many building materials delivered without seeing the driver. Therefore ZERO contact. Also discussed in a thread yesterday, 'essential' is subjective. It's an opinion. What's essential to you may not be essential to me and vice versa. For example, why are people permitted to go to the shops for Cigarettes, what's essential about those? Beer, wine, desserts? I don't consider any of these as essential, yet others can purchase them. | |||

"Its ALL 'frustrating' For all of us We need food, exercise and medicine to live We do not need a new patio" Maybe but, but most people if not 'ALL' need stimulus, something to keep the brain active. Tomorrow you could visit a supermarket and buy some binoculars to watch birds in your garden. Would you need them any more than Barry from over the road needs some roofing felt for his shed? | |||

"There is little difference between a delivery van arriving with groceries and one coming with bathroom tiles." Um, I actually think there's a BIG difference. One keeps you and your family alive. One makes your house look pretty. People just need to grow-up and stop being such selfish self-centred arseholes. | |||

"I would love to paint my bedroom but the big picture is.... I go buy paint. That can was potentially touched by someone carrying covid. I, out of habit, once picking up that tin, then push my glasses up my nose. I get in my car, I sanitize my hands and drive home. I go to work, I observe all current guidelines of gloves and apron, masks only when client is shielding. But I sneeze. Yes I sneeze into my elbow but a droplet escapes. And 2 weeks later my client is hospitalised and passes away with covid. Now imagine that client is your parent. And that's why I don't paint my bedroom during lock down "

So, you are saying people should be able to buy diy materials to keep their brains active?" Yes! Like I wrote in my first post. Make their home more comfortable by way of people WANTING to be there! People don't like being bored, if they are able to use their time at home constructively and in a way which keeps them content, they are more likely to stay at home. Different people require different stimulus, so if people can order online from Hobbycraft for their cross-stitch projects, why can't people order over the phone for their bathroom tiling project? | |||

If you want to debate the contents, why are DPD, UPS, DHL able to continue delivering items ordered online from non essential outlets such as Next, Boohoo, etc? How does a new dildo from Lovehoney keep you alive? | |||

"I would feel more comfortable if I could get my hair cut lol " See this restriction makes sense. Unless you live with a hairdresser, barber or somebody fairly competent, it's impossible to maintain social distancing while having a haircut. | |||

"I thought hardware shops were allowed to stay open? " They are, but some have restricted their range. There's another thread about the problems with purchasing from B&Q. There may be a difference between hardware stores and builders merchants too. I've not been able to find any information on this with the brief search I've done though. | |||

One makes your house look pretty. People just need to grow-up and stop being such selfish self-centred arseholes. Yes they do" The classic sign of a poor debater not being able to construct a decent counter argument - they result to personal insults. I'll stand by my comment earlier, why is ordering a new dildo from Lovehoney any different to ordering building materials from a LOCAL merchant? If somebody on here was detailing how they had bought a new dildo online, it wouldn't be criticised. However such which an item will likely have originated in China or another country and need be physically handled several times, to process, package and deliver. Building materials which are usually from the UK, and therefore supporting UK economy, are often placed on the delivery vehicle by forklift and offloaded by crane. Therefore not handled. There is far, far less risk of the virus being spread by building materials than there is by delivery of a dildo. Let me know when you are starting a petition to prevent online sex shops from delivering | |||

With regard to your comment about essential, I've answered that above. Plus in several other places around the forum. | |||

"I have not read all the replies on this forum, but I do agree with the OP, at least the bottom line. People are stuck at home for, at the very least, another week, but most likely considerably longer than that. How long can you binge watch TV or play that online game you always wanted to play but never had enough time? We need to keep ourselves busy to prevent boredom. Some people like reading, craft, being in their own company. Others have to be physically busy, doing things around the house or garden, or exercising etc. Yes, there are plenty of online courses that dropped their prices but again not everyone likes that kind of thing. I believe we shouldn't be told what is and isn't essential, and that we should have a way of purchasing goods we believe we need to keep us happy and occupied during the lockdown. Maybe then it will be easier to cope? " Exactly my point. If we want people to stay at home, the best way is to enable them to make their home a comfortable/engaging place to be... Normally this is something completely different to their day to day lives. A hobby! You mentioned some good examples, and highlighted how others can't necessarily cope with that sort of stimulus long term. | |||

However, three weeks is not short term! In addition it also very likely this initial three week period will be extended. If you can provide more clarity on your ideas to relieve long term 'boredom', I'd be happy to consider them. | |||

"I think the government might do better with the lockdown if they enabled people to make their homes a more comfortable place...

"I think the government might do better with the lockdown if they enabled people to make their homes a more comfortable place... Comfortable as in wanting to be there, rather than the 'soft cushion' comfortable. At this of year, many households have started a renovation or DIY project. Sitting at home, having time, and wanting to finish a DIY project, but not being able to buy the materials will just frustrate people. There is little difference between a delivery van arriving with groceries and one coming with bathroom tiles. Some DIY projects don't even require items coming in to the house - like putting slabs in a front garden. " Your first sentence is fractionally laudable. However, if you can't DIY with what you already have, why go out of your way to put someone unnecessarily at risk of dying or being fucked up for the long term? Having said that, it would be VERY nice if the government were willing and able to support everyone to have a home that's comfortable and liveable inin the Marie Kondo sense... but think how many people are in mouldy /damp/potentially hazardous living spaces because the landlord doesn't have the decency to make their properties habitable. Just imagine how good it would be for those who struggle with tidying and/or hoarding if there was government help... I've been sleeping on and off between two bedrooms of my house for several months. I know there's sort of a point to what I'm trying to say but it's 3am | |||
