I think the variations on providing contact details are down to another case of the terms 'guidance' and 'rules' being used interchangeably by the government, with it not really being clear what is and isn't law. Wetherspoons are requesting contact details on paper forms which are held in pubs, but ...

People hugely underestimate how much money businesses are losing right now. Pretty much the entire hospitality industry has no revenue coming in, but still has rent and bills to pay along with the wages of anyone not furloughed (as all will need some employees still working - those who work the soc...

Waitrose near me have just made part of the store one way, barriering off parts so people have to follow it. In all honesty it was better without, as now it creates a backlog when one person stops right in the middle of the aisle (as many of their predominantly boomer audience seem to enjoy doing)....

Sainsbury's now moving 'the vast majority' of their full size supermarkets to close at 10PM by next week along with petrol station kiosks reopening and convenience stores starting to go back to 11PM. Also a pledge to introduce additional screens for staff to enable more manned checkouts to be open. ...

I think a further extension of the lockdown to the end of April is inevitable, but from May we'll go back to where we were before it - that is restaurants, bars and pubs still shut, social distancing still being required whilst outside but most people able to go back to work and to travel around.

Has anyone actually had their letter from Boris yet?

Speaking of Sainsbury's, I've found them to be far the worst locally when it comes to getting stock back to (somewhat) normal levels - what's everyone else's experiences like? It's hard to criticise any supermarket for how they handled a situation unplanned, but during the panic buying few weeks ag...

Mine is still working the same as yesterday although it's a good idea.

I have heard that Tescos have introduced a signposted route around the store which you must take to avoid congestion as people dart about where they want - not sure if that is everywhere or not.

I have a colleague at work who is convinced she had it in December (experts reckon the first week of January is the absolute latest it arrived here, so not completely inconceivable), she doesn't normally get ill with anything but suddenly got a temperature, cough and what felt like a very heavy cold...
