This may be shit advice but everyone keep saying “went to X large supermarket”. I’m hearing even the co-op is OK and smaller businesses are both less likely to be mobbed and more likely to need the business over the next few months so why not head to a local shopping area and hit the greengrocers etc?
That’s my plan tomorrow.

My youngest daughter (who has asthma) has had the virus as has another daughter's husband
Both work in London and are in their 30's
It wasn't pleasant but both are starting to feel better and symptoms are going
Most people like them won't be in the official statistics as they phoned their doctors and were told to self-isolate and ride it out
Two points from this:
Hope this is useful
- The death rate is likely to be a much lower % than feared as lots of sufferers aren't tested
- Younger, relatively fit people can get through it even if they have respiratory problems

Never understood how people can be so passionate about politics.
I mean football where they have grown up, usually watching their dad's love of it and then joining him as a kid. I get very passionate.
Getting all passionate about Johnson or Corbyn, nah I'm alright. Wouldn't trust either of them to babysit.
But there are many people who HAVE been brought up with parents as fanatical about a political party as others are about football. It's why you get entrenched views.
Plus it's shit that actually matters in how our lives turn out. We have a shit season - hey ho roll on the next one and hope we do better.
I hope you can get through itHopefully the rumours of the government subsidising wages up to 75% are true. I guess we find out later.
Personally, I'm screwed. Work from home as a freelancer and I only started up the business recently. I don't know if I'm entitled to any sort of grant as that will be administered via local authorities based on business rate records - but I don't have a business premises as I work from home, and I don't even have a payroll set up yet as I've been living off savings while I start the business. All that money has gone. Really worrying times.
Johnson was an absolute fucking disgrace earlier by the way. Worldwide pandemic that will have dire consequences both here and abroad and our supposed leader is complaining about having to give briefings and sounding bored the entire time he actually is. No wonder we can’t get people to take this thing seriously when the Prime Minister doesn’t sound like he’s taking it seriously whenever he opens his mouth and refuses to put actual restrictions in place.
Hypothetically it's possible. The grasping cunts that have been in charge for 10 years have however left us in a situation where we can't care for people that are vulnerable. People that have paid into the system their whole lives are going to die because these scumbags wanted to add to their extraordinary hoard of cash. Give me a guy whose tie is wonky over people that have forcibly mismanaged us into a situation where we are unable to cope.
Yeah the small local places seem to be better stoked currently and as you say need the business in some cases. I'm trying to support local and independent businesses where possible through this.
The butchers and greengrocers in Cheylesmore were well stocked yesterday. The Turkish barbers was empty and it never quiet there. Beer Gonzo in Earlsdon have implemented local delivery and are focusing on getting orders through the website as the taproom is closed so get your fancy international beers in from there.
Barbers is a bit close contact though. There are going to be some naughty mullets going on over the next few weeks.
Been cutting my own hair for over 10 years. Finally going to pay off.
I’m planning on coming out full Jesus when it’s over. Ball hair down to my knees and everything.
Ok, so who's had all the meat, (i know it's not otis) tried to do the usual weekly shop in aldi, no fresh meat, tried asda no fresh meat. Gave up and came home.

I might nab one of the Queen's swanssame here. Just got everything for a Sunday roast except for a chicken!
If I haven't got one by Sunday morning the local pigeon population are in for a shock.
That's easy for you to say. I am down to my last 14 cartons of soya milk and am beginning to panic a little.It's a good one.
I have only been to coop, one stop or a small shop over the last few weeks. Yeah they dont have everything but they have more than enough to be able to put meals together.
This is why I don't get why people choose to go and spend their day at ASDA.
Boris Bikes, he’s ahead of his time that mop haired little genius!!!
Sounds deliciousGood time to go vegan!!!!
Grab that lentil and pea-shoot roast before they're nabbed too.

Damn! I was formulating my response, but you beat me to me.“That’s a long haircut” - Otis
I might nab one of the Queen's swans
5 days in and I've already had enough.
If we are in 'lock down' for the next 3 months I think I'll lose the plot properly.
Can't go out and do almost anything. I still don't really understand the seriousness of it all to be honest. Can't help but think it is a bit over the top.
I understand there are people vulnerable to the virus and of course the right precautions should be taken there, but otherwise the whole world has to be in isolation for 3 months because of a flu on steroids?
Praise the lord!!!I’m planning on coming out full Jesus when it’s over. Ball hair down to my knees and everything.
another halfway house policy causing problems.
Shut several tube stations but don't shut the whole tube so the trains that are running are mobbed.
Is chicken rustling a thingDone that, just a bit scared to tell you where I went in case half of Coventry turns up there
(Still no eggs, though!)
