      Went to Morrisons this morning, great no queue,straight in.

      Social distancing, not possible, for starters the aisles are less than 6 ft wide, and the place was full of people, if they, (government), think people are going to be social distancing for months they are on another planet.
      Its not realistic or possible, and to be honest its all rubbish.

      I touched all kinds of stuff other people had touched, and then I even brought this potentially deadly material into my house.:yikes::biggrin:

        Heard from a friend who went to our local Morrisons recentley that staff instore were strictly enforcing the 2m rule, shouting at anybody disregarding it that they would be banned from the store if they did it once more.

        There needs to be more of that, preferably making it compulsory for stores to actively take an interest in enforcing the rules, rather than ignore what's happening in their store.

        And if shoppers have no other option than take their children with them, they should be responsible for controlling them. Maybe the stores should provide children with gloves and insist they be worn instore, but that wouldn't stop them from rubbing/picking their noses with their gloved fingers, then rubbing their gloves all over the food on the shelves. Maybe chilli powder impregnated gloves?

          I did get politely told by the person on the till to move back to my allotted space :biggrin: but other than that it's just not possible without ripping out half the shelving.
          Kids yeah we don't need them :biggrin:
          PITA at the best of times.

              That's pretty silly. Why don't they do what they do here. They tape arrows on the floor of the rows so that is it one way traffic throughout the stores. A little more exercise but I need it.

              Of course there was one numpty the other day who went the wrong way so I pointed to the arrow and then asked where she was parked as I didn't want to get on the road at the same time! She didn't know what to think. Was I smiling behind my mask? :biggrin:

                Well we have arrows taped on the floor where you queue for the tills but when you go round the store what happens if you miss something and want to go back?
                I guess you get strung up and treated like a criminal.:biggrin:

                  If I owned/ run a garden centre I would be pretty pi**ed off.

                  Supermarkets are selling plants, compost and all kinds of gardening stuff.
                  Stores such as B&Q are doing similar.

                  But if you are a garden centre your not supposed to be open to the public.

                  Just another anomaly of the whole set up.

                        I have a brilliant idea! :ideaIPB: What if it became mandatory to douse ourselves in perfume each time we go out? If you can smell the perfume of a person, you are also inhaling air potentially containing the virus from that person.

                        Nobel prize, I'm ready (after I get my hair done) :biggrin:

                          I've been trying for a week and a half to get some cuprinol silver copse fence paint with no joy until yesterday (to be delivered within 30 days) and no wonder, I cannot believe how people could go this far for a tin of paint:scratch:
