Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[Julia9054]

In other news, today I have washed the windows. Looking forward to saving money on the leccy by not having the lights on all the time.

I'm just gonna have to report this! What's that number for informing on those breaking the lockdown rules?

Breaking what rules? If you go in to Homebargains for food, what is wrong with picking up a paintbrush or anything else they sell, same for Screwfix, as ALL building suppliers/hardware stores have been told they can open, some are making decisions themselves about what they deem to be essential items, but if they are selling anything, what difference does selling something else make (if they are open, they are open).

Interpret the rules as to how you'd like them to be. Yes,that's the spirit(!)

We could make paintbrushes from the offcuts from all these lockdown haircuts people are having

It's not interpreting the rules how I like, if a store has been allowed to open, such as ALL building suppliers/hardware stores have, they are OPEN.

So you go to the store just to buy essential food,then just happen to see a paint brush and think "Hey look, there are some paint brushes over there! That reminds me, i need to paint my walls,i think i'll buy one"!

Would anyone trust takeaway food at the moment?

I know buying stuff from the supermarket still has risks, but you're more in control of the final product as opposed to having ready made food dropped on your doorstep.

And I write this as someone who loves a weekly KFC.

FYI -just ordering a take-out....

I've been as busy as fook, oh to be board for a while

You and me both!

What? All I did was tell you which shops were selling paintbrushes, and that ALL Building Suppliers/Hardware stores are allowed to open, what part of that didn't you understand? Homebargains also selling them is neither here nor there FFS!

I've just clicked on the B&Q site and a message popped up to say I was in a queue and will have to wait 10 minutes to get fully on the site.

Strange times.

Look! I need an excuse to avoid doing extremely boring d.i.y! I'm not gonna buy a paint brush no matter how much you insist i'm allowed to buy one!

Erm, yes?
If you are there anyway and the shop is selling them, why would that be a problem.

Our normal one is closed but another is open. You ring your order ahead then head down to wait outside. Verdict is that chips and mushy peas better than our usual but fish not as good. Generous portions. Yep lucky this one has stayed open. Family run so at least they can staff it well enough.

The way to get the best fish is to order haddock. They cook it fresh to order. Also its important that your chip supper is served in a box, none of that paper bollocks that steams it to death.

The measure of a chippy is the quality of its chips.
My favourite is Papas on the quay in Sandwich. Awesome and always busy.

Crispy battery and crispy edged chips.
