A combination of an increase in Covid-19 cases, bad weather, shortages in shops, and even an increase in power cuts are highly probable.
For us this week its animal feed, not just for old Snot but for the wildlife too. The memsahib has drawn up a shopping list with different things on different weeks up to week 39.
You know it makes sense!

There's going to be a huge "culture" shock to millions of people when they have to carry/wear a mask at all times ......
It'll be just like the war .....

Perhaps they will have to make a little hole in it to stick a straw through, Art.
Same with restaurants, only they will need a bigger hole.

It was also like the third degree before I was even allowed to enter the building. Temperature taken, 20 questions about my health and no admittance without a priority appointment. That was before I even reached reception!Whether the Gov't are doing it to increase the footfall or because of safety, I'm not sure, I do think however, it is right for the safety of all, that food establishments do the right thing to ensure everyone's safety, Is it so hard for shoppers to wear a mask in supermarkets and foodshops? The Gov't have allowed two weeks for those who have yet to acquire a mask, so no excuses. It doesn't even have to be the regulation 3 layered does it? I read somewhere it can be home-made or even a scarf over your nose and mouth.
