Bigger queues today.

It’s the supermarkets that’s making mockery of any lockdown , loads must catch it when food shopping as they’ve been as busy as normal

You’ve got to have food though..do most of my shopping at Tesco Roker and to be fair they do a canny job of only allowing a certain number at a time into the store.

Went to Boots to pick up a repeat prescription today then M&S for food. Both great. Boots were pulling people needing prescriptions out of the queue so they didn't have to go in store and M&S wasn't too busy (5 minutes queuing to get in).

Most people were observing the rules but one oldish woman at Boots was kicking off a bit about having to queue and, as I left, I noticed she definitely wasn't 2m behind the person in front of her. In M&S, an old couple were doddering a bit, basically going slowly and having a discussion in every aisle rather than getting in, getting the job done and getting out again.

Anyone been out to the shops today..not bothering if it’s chaos.

Been to tesco, not much of a queue when we were going in, was building up when we left.

Aren't they doing click and collect only though? I think they bring the order to your car for you. I tried to price a door the other night (not to fit now, but when normality returns) and couldn't get on their site because of the amount of people on it. An hour waiting time to get online.

How can shopping at B & Q be classed as essential ?

As @Botchie says, they're click and collect and delivery only.

Probably queueing to get on the website, seems to have been impossible the last few days

Metrocentre M&S now making people queue inside the store in a big snake like queue so they can display all their non-food stuff without breaking the regs. Don't seem to have twigged that pacing out 2 metres doesn't really work if you bring the queue back on itself after the first metre.
