On the Welsh thing and essential shopping. Aren't they doing much the same in Ireland and no-one seems to be getting their knickers in a twist over it ?

Plainly it's an inconvenience for some, and there'll be some things which should be looked on as being essential which aren't, but both the Irish and Welsh governments are doing something they believe is necessary, so it does seem like nit picking to worry about if you can buy cards, toys etc.

Whether or not these firebreaks will be much more effective than the English and Scottish tier 3 restrictions is more important than being able to buy new boxers.

It shouldn't be on a government - any government - to deem what is essential and what isn't.

It's daft.

And people are just letting it happen because they're scared of this virus. Fine, but it's here for a long time, so what's the solution? Governments deeming being able to buy a book or a frying pan as non-essential for the next two years?
 
So along with pasties, ale, back / sack and crack wax’s, books are now on the Devils List :eek:

No, no. We must continue to have those essentials. It's a return to the Dark Ages without them.

Thank goodness for the anti-lockdown heroes. Without them in England there'd be no restaurants, gyms, pubs, schools and Greggs open.
 
She went on her own mate, tried to reason with the staff, but no joy, only 3 milk per customer, irrespective of special needs or carton size. Normals can just pop into a corner shop for theirs like, to top up.

Anyways, just trying to illustrate how, with broad rules enforced by a large multinational, there are always going to be issues :)

To be fair, considering the overzealous bulk buying in March I'm not really opposed to them stopping people from buying loads at a supermarket.

And Hallmark. The true shadowy cabal behind COVID. Makes sense though - buy a birthday card for your 100 year old gran infused with COVID, then a get well soon card, then a sorry your dead card. Literally millions made off each death.
