My anxiety has dropped since Boris made his statement about the lockdown. At least I know where I stand and can still pop out briefly for food as long as I don't have the symptoms.

KFC outlets will gradually close by Wednesday.

Greggs is closed from tomorrow.

McDonalds are closing by 7pm tomorrow.

HMV, Timpson and Primark are closing after close of business tonight.

Sainsbury's have finally updated the POS and SmartShop to stop bulk buying which resulted in shelves being better stocked on Saturday.

For someone who acts like an authority on television, JKDerry seems to struggle to understand why ITV don't own the TV shows that were made by Thames.

All cinemas (it seems) closing in the next 24 hours. Odeon already closed. Cineworld thought to be at risk of defaulting on their loans.

Which would be bad news for Picturehouse, which have rejuvenated old buildings into cinemas, including my area. They close tomorrow until further notice.

All Asda and Tesco stores that open 24 hours will close from midnight to 6am from this evening to allow for replenishment.

Tesco is closed 10pm-6am.
