Have u seen the queue outside ASDA . On portrack Lane

[BobUpnDown]

the instruction is clear - no groups larger than 2 people - so no family groups should be heading outside, to the shops or anywhere even if they all live together.

I think you are wrong about that.

I got a text from the government earlier today - a link to the rules. Seems a lot of people are getting them according to social media. I assume that they are bending the mobile companies (I'm on EE).

I haven't had one as yet, but I'm sure I will at some point.

 

[dan_ashcroft]

Didn't you get your government text message this morning?

Hi. I haven't as yet but that will be because it's the operators that are sending the messages. The government don't have the facility to do it directly.

BBC website lead story. I thought it was gatherings of two or more?

Apart from people in your own household. At least that's what I thought Dan.

It's surprising how even intelligent people lack that though.

and sadly that's the thing in shortest supply

I've just spoken to a friend of mine who has been to Tesco Coulby around 10ish today and she said it was a lot quieter than expected and shelves were mostly stacked. Worst part was security had to be called as some selfish cnut couldn't wait for his beer to approved so was kicking off at the girl on the self service check out. She said he had said to this girl that he hopes she catches it and dies. WTF!?

What an utter, dispicable piece of dirt, you can bet your bottom dollar that brain dead individual will be one person who won't get infected, karma doesn't happen to pond life

Careful Randy, you'll be challenging me for being the most miserable poster on the board

I think we all sound off at times dood, your not missearble, I told you before you're a very well educated poster, well balanced too, stay safe

A gathering of less than 2 is an odd kind of gathering

I can't help but think what the hell would it be like if this was the middle of December and Christmas was coming.

Very good point, the shops would be rammed

Exactly. Santa could catch it and there'd be no presents.

easter coming is bad enough aka my idiot neighbours...

The gift of not infecting anybody would be a very nice gesture.

I went to the Morrisons at berwick hills around 11am. About 30 people in the whole shop and the shelves were very well stacked.

Woman on the till said there was a massive line of people waiting to get in on the morning then it died down after an hour. People need to stop panicking and rushing in first thing on a morning.

 

[Shaboro1986]

An update. The queue is even longer today. Its snaking around the carpark.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

People going early think thats best time as the shelves will be restocked. The shelves are continuously replenished so it makes little sense going when the majority of folk go. Why cant that message be communicated effectively! The last place I would want to be right now is Asda Superstore.
