Pandemic!!!

I have just been to closest pets at home and they had live food ready by the door. The girl said they had ordered more than normal so all should be well

Coming back from my break and just came a whisker to being knocked down by an old man on a mobility scooter, tearing it up the precinct like a boy racer. ****s sake, shouldn't he be self isolating?!

Just read that costco is not accepting any returns on tp and people that bought a lifetime supply are really ticked off!

Everyone is buying bog roll thinking they are gonna need 500 rolls because they will live forever. I went into a shop today and they were selling unwrapped singles. They must be catering for those who think they are definitely gonna die! Both ends of the spectrum!

Oh you're Welsh! Me too. South East, 25 miles aporox from Newport

I'm not Welsh but might as well be. I spend most of my time here lol. I'm from Manchester but I have some cottages here in anglesey. I'm so in love with the place. I'm thinking of selling up everything in Manchester and staying!

It's a lovely place. I know it has a long written history that goes back to the Druids and the Roman Invasion, which is awesome. Only visited once as a kid. Must return one day.

The North Wales people have a bad rep for being unaccepting of outsiders and refusing to speak English in shops etc. It sounds like you haven't had any trouble and aren't having problems mixing which is great. Perhaps we shouldn't generalise!

Only been to Manchester once, to the BBC studios which was an experience. It's an amazing city. I could have stayed there for weeks just exploring!

Some dont accept outsiders but I have spent a lot of time there over the last twenty or so years so I'm part of the fixtures and fittings now lol. I even got myself a little boat. I love a bit of fishing. (Think I'm a guy without a dongle)!

how can anyone not fall in love with this? Love getting snaps of the island with my drone lol

Just want to share with you guys, one funny interaction with a customer today, that really made my morning.

So this man comes in wearing a mask, hat and gloves and he apologises for wearing the mask. Then he went, "I said to the missus this morning, last time I went into a shop dressed like this, I got sent down for 6 years!"

The lockdown is rubbish,just sounds like someone's day to day living.I think the idea is you only go to one shop,which you can get everything you need.Then back home.But you can go for a bike ride or jog past the masked people.why not jog to all Five shops etc A to E on the map.

My favourite meme is the one that says :

Had to console a team member today who was ready to lose his ****, as a female customer who was buying nail polish (since when was that essential? Boris said food & medicines, not make up!!) sneezed right at him, with no attempt to cover it.

We are concerned that the government will insist on more shop closures as still people are not listening. Yesterday, out of every 10 people, approx 5 are buying essentials. The other 5 haven't got anything in their basket that you could call essential. What's the no 1 thing these idiots are leaving the house for? Paint! They are going to decorate. Also selling lots of gardening stuff. The majority of workers feel these people are risking catching and transmitting the virus every time they leave the house and putting everyone at risk, including us, the people who work in these essential shops, that everyone relies on to stay open.

My kid wanted to go to the shop for a bar of chocolate. I said no way, she'd have to wait for me to do the main (now the only) weekly grocery shop and get it then, and we'd do some baking instead.

However, get ready as UK shops and supermarkets will change massively in the coming weeks to try and slow the spread of Covid. From mid April all the manned tills and service desks will have a plastic screen (similar to banks) so noone will be able to sneeze, snot and cough on us then lol.

If you have coco powder and icing suger and butter you could make some chocolate frosting to cure your kids sugar fix. We used to make tubs of that while video game binging as little kids and eat it till we upchucked! Cured the sugar fix and then some!
