Anyone rushing out today to join the queues and regimented shopping. We have packed in supermarkets due to queues and we will be miles away from them. Should have taken the football line. Open up without customers.

How have you been able to buy food without trips to the supermarket? My son works on the online food offer at Tesco but the list of what you can buy is so limited it's like a time bubble back to the 1950s!

Been doing one big shop a week at the local one since all this started, everything non-food related bought online and no takeaways at all in 3 months! I did get to a couple of raves in Manchester at the weekend though...

TBF Mr Accrington Football have opened up with Millions of Customers Worldwide. They maybe missing the odd 20-50 thousand in the Stadiums. Those fans will be watching (and paying) from home. Still a bit revenue lost. Smaller clubs will really miss matchday revenue in and around the ground. IMHO.

I decided to start to buy all non food items online and joined Amazon Prime.
First order was for a camera tripod and I was sent a bag of Dried Sliced Mango.No shit man!!!!!!!!

it has been a bit like a trip down memory lane for us. shop shortages and going to smaller shops. supermarkets have been swerved as neither of us can do this regimented shopping lark. my lad in the younger generation has binned em off due to getting in a row in tesco for cutting straight across the shop for one item he needed, cheese. all non food stuff has been bought on line, car parts and a few transport second hand books.
