    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?

    ASDA in Hul are reporting problems with the Government vouchers for meals for kids over the summer break . Customers turning up trying to use them to buy Cigs - Alcohol - Clothes , staff being abused because they are refusing to allow it . What sort of parents are these?, disgusting . A better system would be the food boxes similar to what i recieve . Picked up at a centre or shop , to ensure that kids are actually getting the food . I would imagine this " problem" stretches farther than just Hull .

    Things like vouchers are not as straight forward as some think, there is always someone pulling a fast one and taking the piss, selling the voucher and spending the money on Cigs - Alcohol - Clothes, scumbags who sell their kids dinner money on other things, no excuse.

    I think the people of Keighley will get to understand the rather complex signs in Asda about 3 months after restrictions are removed.

    These signs include:
    No Entry
    Keep 2m apart

    I wish Asda had made the signs much easier to understand.

    So, how are we coping with the face mask rules now in force in shops.
    Been to Lane ends Morrisons this morning, didn't see a single person without.
    Good effort by all, if all the selfish prats behave it should help to stop the spread.
    If you don't like it or can't wear one stay away and get home deliveries, and stay off public transport.
    And before anyone bleats about freedom, I don't give a toss.

    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.
