Was still families of 4 or 5 cutting about or couples dithering about blocking the aisle or access to the shelf. This @pozbaird - as Mixu said, it just seems a bit daft you're doing 90% of it and then not the other 10. Going for a walk is fine; you've got a much broader field of vision and can get out of folks' way; that's much harder in a supermarket full of dozy c***s. I know you'll say if one of you gets it then the other will anyway, but two folks instead of one means you're a physically bigger unit, so the chances of one of the dozy c***s potentially passing something on increase by double at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're seriously taking that level of risk avoidance then you'd be cutting out cooking, showering, using knives and going upstairs first. Cooking, showering, using knives and going upstairs are all necessary, to various degrees. Two folk going shopping when only one person needs to isn't necessary, to any degree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely advise against exercise or DIY at home if Poz shopping with his missus is so heinous.

"Two of us going to the shop, what about people organising parties?" is akin to "I'm only calling them feenyins, they beast weans!" What about the day we drove down to the retail park, and while I nipped into M&S, Mrs Poz got the cat foot from Pets at Home and we got back into the car? I will seriously PM you my address, should you wish to report my actions to the authorities. Not a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute fcuking roasters, lambasting couples for doing the shopping, and going on about crashes. Utter, utter fannies. IMHO. No-one need agree with me. I see your point but it's not Nazi stuff. No one is talking of gassing millions of folk or invading countries, or carrying out horrendous experiments on vulnerable people or getting rid of elections etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my work today the older generation are still the issue regarding keeping distance. Not much happening today as shop is fairly full and work is slowly going back to normal. Opening the shop later is pretty good. The ques outside the shop as people moan because they may be late for work as they come in for a meal deal.... In my shopping experiences lately it's been young women in their early twenties that are the worst. Was in Tesco today and a male employee reached around me to grab a sandwich for his lunch. No doubt just a bad apple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This is like a longer term version of a problem from a few years ago where that volcano went off and none of the airlines would fly until one of them went f**k this and sent some flights up to see what would happen. The governments will not let this drag on for months on end, I reckon boris will get his 4 or 5 conference centre hospitals up and running, wait for the peak of this thing and hopefully have some sort of testing programme in place. Then it'll be getting back to normal as quick as they can and we'll swallow the risk/loss of a number of the weak and elderly that will be deemed an acceptable level by the powers that be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
