Went shopping this morning, arrived at Tesco's just on 8 o clock as they opened the doors, the queue was already snaked up and down the parking lanes 4 times and around the outside edge of the car perimeter, store side and then store front. I thought F that and drove down the road to Lidl where there was about 30 people in the queue, but even then it took almost an hour before I was allowed in the store. Once inside though it was almost back to normal with most stuff on the shelf in reasonable volumes. The shopping trip, to just 2 shops, next to each other, Lidls and FarmFoods, took almost 2 and a half hours .
I went to a local Polish deli and a greengrocer. I was very annoyed to have to wait 5-10 minutes to get in each of those. It looks like "YMMV"
Greengrocer, cor, I havent seen one of those for years, where in the Galaxy do you live then
Brizzle
I can think of three[1] in Brizzle that I regularly visit, one farm shop at the end of my village (5 miles from the city centre
, and another in the nearby 60s overflow town.
Mind you, up in the 80s and 90s sprawl on the other side of town there are zero greengrocers
But who wants to live in a desert like that
One was shut today, possibly for the duration.
In other news, the regional shipping centre is to lose its Boots. I wasn't surprised that my mother's local one will shut, but the regional shopping center?!
