Just been to asda boldon. Nice orderly que outside, 2m line markings being observed. Got in one way system in place, being totally ignored by a lot of idiots, fuck all on the shelves.

Good luck mate, you may need it.

Just been to Peterlee Asda, was spot on there last week, this time a pain in the arse. A minority of people not giving a shit about keeping their distance. When I was putting me food through the till this fella came up with his family, five of them, and more or less stood right next to me. Had to tell him to move back, but he didn't like it one bit. Those are the sort of people who will be having people 'round their house for drinks and then coming out into public and potentially passing it on. The big, gormless idiot had his family with him too - he clearly does not give a shit about them.
 


Still no pasta in the ASDA near us. Clamming for some pasta, had to use lasagne sheets with a best before of 2018 yesterday!

That's worrying I thought supermarkets were meant to be stopping large families shopping together.
 
We’re going to the nearby M&S for the weekly shop...canny bit more expensive but a visible reduction in mouth breathers with no concept of distancing etiquette.

Asian supermarkets are the go to place for that. We get a 20kg bag of Tilda for £35 a few weeks back. It will last us two years.

Ahmeds at Laygate didn't have any small'ish bags last weekend, but a fair few large sacks of rice..think they re-stock regularly too.
Shop was fairly quiet too.

I haven’t ventured out for 13 days but tomorrow I’m going to have to go to the supermarket.

What is the recent experience like? Bare shelves or relatively well stocked?

massive two meter queues at Aldi the other day. Only a certain number let in at once one in one out policy. I liked it calmed the whole situation down.
 
Better than normal and I’m not just saying that. No kids screaming and throwing wobblies, old people have been told to stay at home so things move better and the shelves are not bad at all. Try going late on.

Vast majority I think.. I buy de cecco generally and that's definitely made in Italy

Yes, just had a look and Italy is the key producer and exporter. Even most of the supermarkets own brand pasta is made in Italy. I'd never really noticed.
