That's a shame. Finishing my night shifts today and was looking forward to a punch-up with someone in the aisle on the way home from work in the morning Rolling with laughter
Might just have to head to Sainsburys instead, avail myself of the early morning NHS pre-store opening session

How about this for an idea? Supermarkets get rid of (chain up) their large shopping trolleys and allow shopping with the smaller hand baskets only.

Here in the Netherlands supermarkets start doing the opposite. Some supermarkets removed the baskets and everybody has to use a trolley, even if you come to buy one item. The idea is that when everybody uses a trolley the distance between the people is bigger.

Our block of units have parents working from home & together with their children are chatting & playing together.

Our government's 1.5 metre distance rule is currently zero! They would ALL be better off in school!

Early this morning I added some chalk artwork!

NZ just announced full lockdown. Typical policitian response - leave it till it's too late because it's all about best possible PR.

Have been wanting to find time to do a full cut and polish i suppose...

Do acoustic insulation, that will keep you busy ripping the car apart for 2 weeks. It will be so quite you won't hear all the people kicking the bucket around you! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Doing my bit to keep people employed!

Someone opened their car door without looking! A bit of damage to the A column as well. The roof rails have to come off for repainting.

Didn't feel anything in our car, just a bit of crunching, even that felt removed due to all the acoustic insulation.

We weren't travelling this year! Confused

That's a bummer.
Looks like the freeb won though. Common sense isn't very common.
