Despite a new policy in Tesco that customers would be limited to only 4 items, a brief trip to the one in Whitfield by Jim this morning revealed the policy was not being enforced.
Whilst a lot of people moan about stockpiling leading to shortages, I think it is becoming ever clearer that the supermarkets are failing to control purchasing in the way they should at a time like this AND that there must be supply issues underlying the empty shelves.
Incredibly embarrassing seeing pictures from elsewhere in Europe of full supermarkets. We Brits are very daft.
In fact that is further underlined by Tim Martin, owner of the Wetherspoons pub chain, going on the radio to claim there's no evidence the virus is being transmitted in pubs. Daft!
And elsewhere many people continue to ignore government advice and go about their business as normal.
All very foolish and I expect it'll be regretted.
Today the Prime Minister announced all pubs, clubs, gym, cinemas etc. must close tonight. This really will bring in a major change for everyone. Hopefully for the better in the long term for the fatality rate.
