Absolutely stupid. Cos we're classed as key workers. We have to still go to work. Thought I'd nip in for a pint of milk for work. Just turned around and drove back out. The line stretches from the doors to the main road.
 
Problem is, it won't just be around here. The majority of the Country will not listen. We should have screens showing the deaths around the World to prove this shoite is real and is your trip to fill a small gap in your pantry really crucial.
 
People will be panicking like mad now. I haven’t done any shopping that I wouldn’t normally do. I have enough food in the house for three or four days and can probably eek it out to a week if needed using bits and bobs as you do.

im really disappointed by the behaviour of some people, it’s to be expected to a degree but the lack of direction from government is not helping.

I’m not going shopping till the end of the week, I just hope it has calmed down by then and the shops have restocked.
 
I feel this is a difficult one. Our experience here was that there was a couple of days of panic buying. Then things calmed down. Once people realised that the shops were being restocked. We were lucky that we had enough stuff in the fridge and freezer to keep us going.

We just stayed in for a couple of days. Then went out and did a normal shop.

Now we try to shop once a week.

We take turns shopping as we are generally only allowed one person in a car at a time.
 
Tomorrow is the day that state pensioners get their monthly money. So non-pensioners are being asked to avoid shopping tomorrow. To give the pensioners first dibs.

Supermarkets are also having specific times of day where pensioners and other deserving cases can shop slowly without the crowds being too big.
 
yet again near me is continuing as normal, mainly 70s+ and off they drive to the shops for a paper. Plenty of them having a wander about stopping for the morning chin wag.. people just don't get it.
 
I noticed this yesterday, groups of pensioners huddled in the huts along Redcar seafront having their lemon tops.

I was in James Cook yesterday for a fairly urgent appointment, what concerned me was the large groups of hospital staff, nattering as the walked down the middle of the corridor. I was trying to stay to the opposite side of people, isolating as best I could, but they made it impossible.

The police haven't got the numbers. Don't forget, the same government who have now given them the powers to fine, have already got rid of 20,000 of them.[/QUA
A cop car sat at the roundabout blocking them getting in and blocking off the Petrol pumps should suffice. I really don't think their journeys are that urgent.

I know its not our job but with the thousands of volunteers signed up through great intiatives to support the elderly already that they be mobilised to just walk down the sea fronts and remind these people to go home politely for everybodys sake and health. Maybe some of them dont know and there will be some that wont care but they are a danger. If they refuse report it to the authorities and that way we will get quicker to an effective Spanish style lockdown and not martial law. Id happily do it if it was occurring in my area. I dont see it as much but I live more rurally and not anywhere near the sea.

As shown in the link above we had the police talk to, arrest and/or fine over 1000 people in a week in Málaga. That is one of the highest areas of infection after Madrid. So it just proves there are idiots everywhere.

is the lockdown much different here than Spain apart from the once a day exercise?
