As Notters says above, people will go back round, choose a different cashier to pay at, couples will split up and do two separate buys etc. I can’t see it helping things as much as they think.

Same at my local Sainsbury’s earlier. First time that every single fruit and veg item has been emptied out since this started. The only person who is going to survive this is that French bloke Mr Mangetout who ate that Cessna. He can just pay for the metal shelving at the self service checkout...

As anyone who has read any blockbuster assassin thrillers knows (Baladacci, Hurwitz, Wood), you always use you knuckles to operate any buttons or keypads to avoid fingerprints. Appreciate it’s still contact where the virus is concerned but better than using your fingertips.

100% the same here, 78 and 83, my mum happy to comply, my dad having none of it. Neither have grasped the reality of it and they’re both Daily Mail readers, which I would have thought would be ramming it down their throats (unless The Mail is too busy spouting about something like hijab/niqab...

Anyone else heard this one “Civil servants are leaking that the army is being mobilised and London is going to be on lockdown at the weekend” From an allegedly reliable source (in fact several)

I know there was an earlier thread on CBD oil, but is there a particular brand, or brands, and strength people would recommend as the market is flooded with ‘charlatan’ CBD oil products it seems, especially online.

Wasn’t the advice that the over 70s were to stay indoors from this coming weekend onwards?

Rewind a minute...channel swim!?! I was thinking of going in for the first time since December this week, but the current local sea temp is 8. If I’d kept it up through the winter I could manage it, but straight into 8 degrees might be a bit much.

You’re up against a ‘We survived the war’ or ‘Our parents survived the war’ mindset with several of them unfortunately.

The over 70s (9 in total) I’ve spoken to unanimously say they’ve no intention of staying indoors and it will be largely ‘business as usual.’

Waking early after a bad night’s sleep, unable to get back to sleep with thoughts of getting in food for elderly relatives and “Ooh I could get to Sainsbury’s for 7am opening if I got up now” then getting to Sainsbury’s at 0645, already a massive queue and none of the stuff you went for on the...

WTF!?

No air travel = the planet might yet be saved. Convert all the planes into affordable housing and everyone holidays in their home country in the future reinvigorating each country’s tourism sector post-Corona. Win win.

Diets will change as a result of this. People who have never looked a chick pea or black eyed pea in the eye before are taking them because they’re in a tin and still on the otherwise empty shelves.

Please not ‘Boris’. Did anyone ever call David Cameron simply ‘David’ or Tony Blair ‘Tony’? ‘Johnson’ ‘BJ’ or ‘the PM’ I can cope with. Cheers :moo::wink:

Have to say it’s something I’ve personally thought about, almost the OP’s post word for word. Be nice, we’ll all be dead soon.

Dresdner Kleinwort per chance?

As I suggested earlier on this thread, the first 2 hours of shop and bank etc. trading each morning should be made over-70s only, with everyone else told to stay away..

You used to be vaguely amusing Das, what do you actually get out of this these days? Seems a bit sad mate if I’m honest (sorry). I know someone who knows you and says you’re a decent bloke and the account is a wind up by your own confession, but maybe with all this going on now is not the time...

People do realise that Johnson is just a mouthpiece don’t they? Everything he says is written for him, every strategy composed by the backroom boys and girls. He may be an utterly objectionable person, but you can’t blame him for government policy on this.
