as i said, not a supermarket boffin, but freezer aisles and booze aisles are narrower, they have less usage, wow life must be different in Wales freezer & booze are very popular here in England

Maybe booze is less popular in Wales due to minimum pricing. Often I could do a round trip into England, buy a bulk of 10 one litre bottles of scotch and save £30.

Our local coop is like that, ends blocked and you would have to walk 4 aisles to get bread. But they are short aisles. I was in there a few weeks ago for as stamp and to weigh a parcel. 

Haven't seen anyone without a mask since they were brought in. I I exclude a few who walked into the foyer in the early days and were reminded having forgotten to don it. They complied straight away ..... as did I when I forgot to take it out of my pocket

That is why one way aisles in small shops doesn't work. Much better, like Easy T's method,  to enter the wrong way if no one  will reach you before you have picked up your item. 

When we did shop in supermarkets, especially ones we were not familiar with,  whilst looking up looking for a product we frequently missed seeing the arrows on the floor.

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson criticised over bike ride seven miles from home

The most amusing thing about that story is possibly that a government spokesman refused to say whether he had been driven to the Olympic Park or cycled there from Downing Street! laughing

Still digging Easy...why dont you just admit that when you visit your local supermarket you break the rules and therefore put in jeopardy social distancing rules. laughing

Matt Hancock in tonight's briefing said that staying local meant not driving half way across England when asked whether 7 miles was considered to be local (re Boris being spotted 7 miles from home on a bike although not actually referred to by MH).

Not at all i often drive 5 miles to nearest golf course to walk fido, primarily because golf courses are closed and it is a quiet place to walk fido and not have to worry about social distancing laughing

Mrs WN is a bit worried. Her VPN on the mobile phone has just informed her she's in Slovakia.

So does she have to self isolate for the next 10 days?undecidedsmile
