How literal do you take: We are told to go out only for food...

...and essential supplies.

Oh well, ordered some lime green 'Rock Shox' stickers to match my bike's paint scheme. On offer, only one left... Essential !

Bearings haven't arrived yet though- rear wheel is still fine and has done 60 miles off road since cleaning/regreasing the hub.

Customers browsing for cosmetics are causing some bother in Boots.

Some branches have cordoned off the non-chemist stuff aisles.

Boots is allowed to open as a chemist, but I suppose the rules weren't made to include a meal deal, cheap umbrella, and a stick of lipstick.

Do parishioners rate grog as "essential". I mean, could you have your collar felt by the Constabulary for going to get some?

Maintaining ones appearance to its usual standard is important for many people’s mental health. For some, that involves wearing cosmetics.

Exactly, reminds me I better get the clippers out before the yeti sighting reports come in.

I thought that off licenses are allowed to open as alcohol is deemed essential!
Maybe if you’re an alcoholic as going cold turkey can be very bad medically but for the vast majority...?
