We do have a 'Farm Foods' in Wisbech but I was definitely pulling Willo's muscular leg as I'm far too much of a snob to shop there.

But obviously not that much as Tesco's is the fortnightly shopathon......Well, it was until this madness.

No Sainsbury's or Waitrose down this neck of the woods....Morrison's Tesco's and Asda...oh and frigging Lidi.

Wisbech....the armpit of the fens.

I meant arse-holistically.

I had a requirement to visit my local 'Waitrose' this afternoon and joined a queue outside the store.

The weather was warm with the sun beating down.A Waitrose employee was deployed to hand out free bottles of water to those who wanted some refreshment in the heat.Later a gentleman deployed on the door to the entrance walked alongside the queue with umbrellas in a box enquiring if anyone wanted to borrow one to act as a shield against the sun.
Excellent customer service by 'Waitrose'.

It’ll be Pimms by June.

My dear wife and I haven't frequented Tesco's for several months.

Apart from Waitrose we also frequent Sainsbury's.
Sainsbury have recently asked customers to only send one adult per household to their stores.They stated that their store teams will be asking groups with more than one adult to choose one adult to shop and will ask other adults to wait. Children are welcome if they are not able to stay at home.

‘Sainsbury’s is good for keeping the riff raff out of waitrose’ goes the joke.

Len would never forgive you!
(I doubt he ever shopped there outside of a paid promotion)

I have not heard this before!

I am very fortunate and privileged to reside in a location free of 'Riff raff' and reprobates and I have not witnessed any in Waitrose or Sainsbury.
The ruffians live further down the coast.

If this is remotely true there’s going to be a lot of trouble.

March 17th?

Yep. So that’s three weeks done already. The rest will be a doddle.

The relevant word to me is intermittently.

It may be correct or it may be all guesswork. But let’s say it’s right - how many people would still support social isolation after 18 months?

Not me but we could see intermittent lockdowns, because we seem unable to make calls on refusing flights in from certain places. Allowing flights in from Italy and China was complete madness.
