Grocery shopping

Recommended Posts

I went a couple of days ago around 3.30 pm. Happy to see a queu keeping the safety distance. Once inside plenty of space, but some people not keeping the distance...I was looking at an item, turned around and there were 4 people surrounding me!!!

Personally, I will wait as much as I can to return...hopefully there is less panic buying by then...

1. Stop shopping as a couple or a family. It makes queues longer and increases contact time.

2. Don't touch it if you aint going to buy it.

2. Your children are controllable and you can stop them running too close to others- its still legal to say no to a child in ED. Its also legal to say no to a child that isn't yours.

3. A distance of 2 metres is not just bit more than a foot. Its the length of a typical car or about 4 brat scooters.

4. Your dog is a potential carrier so 2 metres distance from others includes you and your poxy dog on a string. Stop tying it up by the shop door!

5. Shop in your own neighborhood instead of emptying others local shops.

6.Get a grip on the facts about social distancing- your opinion, sense of special entitlement and feelings are not a reflection of reality. I know this will be very very (very very) hard for a lot of ED residents to grasp but its not too late to start working on becoming an adult. Your right to be an idiot has been temporarily suspended.

    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
    • Hi, My two years old nephew is a complete bookworm and we are looking for more books for him. Is anyone selling or giving away any books please?    Thank you.
