    Please tell me this is a joke.

    I'll happily accept the 'whoosh' comments if it is.

    Went to Morrison's and what a mess, You are not allowed to queue at the tills anymore everybody has to queue down one isle only and when at the front you are called to a free checkout, Queue was massive as everyone in one queue stretching the length of the supermarket with staff directing everyone who wanted to checkout in to the one line
    Complete madness, And guess what? if the staff having to direct and manage the queue were on the tills there would be no queue to manage!!

    You want to visit Farmfoods near Forster Square when the toilet roll delivery arrives.
    Dozens of folk fighting to get as many of the 3 for a tenner packs into their cars as they can.
    Pallets of rolls in car park and a scrum to get them, social distancing out of the window.
    Stuff covid 19, when greed takes over.

    No - I don't go out to be barked at about the distance I should be away from people.

    So why is it that you think you are ok to go within two metres of people and potentially give them Covid 19? It's not about you and your particular preferences. You could be one of the asymptomatic carriers of the virus and be spreading it all over the place to people who are more vulnerable than you. What makes you think that's ok?

    I've seen the T&A feed showing that people stuffer with the basic concept of wearing a mask. A mask that doesn't cover the nose is like driving though a car wash with your windows open.

    I wear glasses so the mask is a pain, but for going to the shops I'll do what is required, even though I have used the same shops for 4 months when the virus was more at large than it is now.

    One thing I have noticed is that many shops have given up on social distancing. B&Ms for example was very strict, now there is basically a free for all taking place.

    Me and our lass have stuck to government guidelines to the letter as much as we could but today I needed to go to Sisslings down near town. Yep you've guessed it I pulled up outside the shop and realused I had forgotten all about a mask.
    I turned the car around headed back home for a mask, there is a spare in my glove compartment just in case I forget again, the ironic thing was when I told the guy behind the counter he said he would have still served me which he really shouldn't be telling me that, shops need to refuse anyone without a mask IMO.
