OV9

People seem to be taking it seriously now. Local Aldi has max. 30 customers, 1 in 1 out, one way through the aisles and distance even at tills. Also local plod with a checkpoint stopping cars to remind drivers of their obligations

Hopefully a couple of weeks of this will have an impact.

winter tyre bargains are fine though yeah?

Rich, just to add to your anger, I left the house today to pick up my car from the garage with it’s fresh service and MoT before it got locked away for 12+ weeks.

I was over the moon that I could retrieve it, then got annoyed when I got stuck behind a car with three old people in going 10 below the limit on a clear road.

My folks went up to Waitrose first thing (OAP hour) and they were just letting in 36 people at a time. Apparently it was well stocked and orderly, which is good. Just hope they listen to the rules now and stay at home.

Plod just drove up our street (quiet residential street), turned round and drove out.

Rounding up kids I reckon

Checked in with me bro - he's furloughed for five weeks, on 80% pay. As he lives really very economically, he's paid up his rent for the next six months, and is planning on pottering about the house, maybe learning some new skills, etc.

So he's ok.

Probably wanting to be seen to be but picking areas where they don't expect to find anything too challenging I'm sure

The advice is there for a reason, don’t be a dick and just follow it.

The first symptom of COVID19 infection is being a cunt.

Don’t call A&E, they’ll only put you in a corridor with other sufferers.

Hope you didn’t overtake them. You’d anger RichB and make his COVID19 worse.

I went up to the Co-Op and bought some Guinness.

Also - I’d never heard the word “furlough” until the last couple of days.

I’d rather be a called a cunt online than be an actual selfish prick who thinks the rules don’t apply to them.

It’s people like you who will push us into full lockdown.

are you trying to use “You have COVID19” as an insult now?!

Brilliant.

COVID 19 - it's the new DOG AIDS.

Apart from Mito, has anyone else had a text from the govt.? The one I got seemed generic, a send to all.

Oh, and people have already been putting 'from a smoke, pet, and COVID19 free household' on ads...

Yes

I got this one:

GOV.UK CORONAVIRUS ALERT New rules in force now: you must stay at home. More info & Exemptions at gov.uk/coronavirus Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.

The special wooden spoon window lickers get this one:

Staying in helps you stay well and that will help the NHS too. You can open a window but do not leave your home, and stay 3 steps away from others indoors.

Got one today telling me to use my own cutlery, bathroom and moisturise

Yep, that's the one. Thanks, chaps. We can but hope it'll help.
